A Bay Area-based staple of the death metal music genre
was gunned down by police in South San Francisco Monday,
after a dispute with a neighbor over tree clippings turned violent.
Possessed guitar player Brian Montana, 60, was fatally shot by authorities
after he brandished a weapon toward his neighbor, authorities with the South
San Francisco Police Department confirmed to the San Francisco Chronicle Thursday.
Montana ‘fired multiple times at officers using a handgun, shotgun, and rifle,’ police said of the incident.
‘Officers used patrol cars as cover and returned fire.
The suspect was struck and ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene.’
