I just got this from Scott Coker (K-1 USA):
San Francisco’s TV CBS Channel 5 Reported: A road rage incident may have led to a deadly shooting South of Market in San Francisco during the Friday afternoon commute. Investigators say there was a minor traffic off 5th St. in the South of Market area, and that the victim of the homicide apparently chased the suspect’s car. Witnesses say the victim confronted the suspect at 5th and Clara. “It appears that it was a traffic accident dispute,” said Maria Oropeza of the San Francisco Police Department. “The victim chased the suspect, and upon contact, the suspect shot the victim.” A witness named Jason said, “He tried to confront the guy. We heard one pop, and he fell to the ground.” The suspect’s vehicle is described as a green or gray Jeep Cherokee with possibly a broken window. Southbound 5th St. was blocked off at Folsom, and there was another police blockade on Harrison. Traffic was moving in the area as of 6:30pm, but it was very slow.

Witnesses say after he shot Gong the driver sped away towards the Bay Bridge but not before several of Gong’s students caught the make of the car and his license plate number. The students tried to revive Gong who was actually in his gym working out at the time of the hit and run but were obviously not successful. Once informed, the Police shut down streets near the Bay Bridge but no word on whether the shooter has been caught yet.

“This is a sad day for martial arts.” Said Scott Coker, (L) who was responsible for much of Gong’s publicized success as a fighter on the StrikeForce Events in San Jose, California shown on ESPN Worldwide. “He did so many great things for MuayThai and the martial arts community, keeping MuayThai alive in America through his spirit and his gym.”

I’m very sorry for his family and his friends.

For the rest of us who yet remain, I will say that whoever it was on this
board that said the following, said something very profound, that
has obvious implications, applications and morals that go far, far, far,
beyond this tragic incident:

“Takes NO courage to pull a trigger!!!

Well, I will say that ANY PUSSY CAN PULL A TRIGGER!! “

Yep, truer words were never spoken.
