SAN DIEGO - A house painter suspected of shooting and wounding a San Diego television
sportscaster was in a dispute with the victim over work done on the reporter's home, police said.

3. Authorities say Mike Montana, 54, fired multiple shots through the rear window of Kyle Kraska's
silver Mercedes on Tuesday outside Kraska's house in the city's quiet, predominantly residential
Scripps Ranch area.
San Diego police Lt. Scott Wahl said the dispute involved the painting of the KFMB-TV anchor's
house, but he didn't offer specifics.
The CBS affiliate said Wednesday that Kraska's injuries were serious but his prognosis is good. He
was recovering at a hospital.
Montana surrendered to authorities after
a SWAT standoff at his home in suburban
El Cajon and was booked into San Diego
County jail early Wednesday. He is
scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on a
charge of attempted murder.
Montana identified himself as the self-
employed owner of Superior Painting
Corp. in a filing for personal bankruptcy
protection in January 2014. He listed
assets of $11,030, liabilities of $38,878
and monthly income of $2,012.
Superior Painting's California business
license was suspended in October 2013 for an unpaid balance of $1,951, said Tami Grimes, a
spokeswoman for the state Franchise Tax Board.
Jail records do not list an attorney for Montana, who didn't immediately respond to an email sent
through jail system.
Kraska is the sports director at KFMB, where he has worked since 1999. He has been a fixture in
San Diego homes as the station's evening sports anchor since 2003 and hosts the San Diego
Chargers postgame show.
The Boston native previously worked for television stations in Los Angeles; Sarasota, Florida;
Tampa, Florida; El Paso, Texas; and Albany, New York, according to a KFMB biography. He began
his career as weekend sports anchor in Watertown, New York, during his senior year at Syracuse
University.
San Diego police say the attack is unrelated to any other crimes and described it as "targeted."
"(The suspect) was looking for him," Wahl said. "He wasn't looking for someone else. This was not
random."
The shooting comes less than two months after a TV meteorologist in Texas was shot outside the
station where he works.
Authorities said KCEN-TV meteorologist Patrick Crawford was in his car the morning of Dec. 17

4. when a gunman approached, yelled at him and shot him three times.
Crawford returned to the air four weeks later. Authorities are still looking for that gunman.
