Possible motive in TV sportscaster's shooting

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego police say a painter suspected of shooting and wounding a TV sportscaster was in a dispute with the victim over work done on his house.

Lt. Scott Wahl said Wednesday that the dispute centered on the suspect's painting of Kyle Kraska's home. He didn't offer specifics.

Police allege Mike Montana, 54, fired multiple shots through the rear window of Kraska's silver Mercedes Tuesday afternoon outside the house. CBS affiliate KFMB-TV, where Kraska is an anchor and sports director, says his injuries are serious but his prognosis is good after undergoing surgery.

Montana was arrested Tuesday night about eight hours after the shooting after a brief standoff with SWAT officers at a home in El Cajon, in eastern San Diego County. He faces attempted first-degree murder charges and is scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday, according to KFMB.

Neighbors called 911 to report Montana's whereabouts after spotting a white van with "Superior Painting" written on the side, earlier described by police as being seen at the shooting scene.

"I went straight to the house to knock on the door to confront the owner to say 'Hey, is this in fact the gentleman, that you know, you rent a room to?' and let her know hey they're looking for him and I'm calling the police," one neighbor told KFMB.

"We were able to get a very dangerous suspect in custody relatively quickly. Nobody else was hurt," Wahl said late Tuesday.

KFMB reported Montana has two pending DUI charges involving driving under the influence of a drug and one misdemeanor criminal threats case that was not charged. He was out on bail when he was arrested Tuesday night.

Federal court records show Montana filed for bankruptcy protection last year. His state business license was suspended in 2013 for nearly $2,000 in unpaid fees.
