HEALDSBURG, Calif. - The ninja.m.asked man shot to death earlier this week by a Healdsburg homeowner was seeking revenge for being fired several years ago from a Southern California casino, police said.

Police identified the dead man as David Ferguson, 47, of San Diego. He apparently stalked Lou Phillips for at least several months before going to his home on Monday morning, dressed in black and wearing a ninja mask, police said.

Ferguson was carrying bindings, tape, tarps, a blindfold and, for some reason, a pocket full of hot dogs when he was shot dead while struggling with Phillips' wife.

Ferguson was chief financial officer for the tribal government operating the Viejas casino east of San Diego when Phillips was hired as chief executive in the late 1990s.

Phillips fired Ferguson after his job performance came into question, according to Healdsburg police.

"That's why I carry 24/7 and go to yellow when I leave the house. Because incidents like this come out of the blue."

Thank goodness that Phillips didn't have the attitude of most people: "Oh, I don't need a gun, nothing like that happens HERE !. This isn't one of THOSE neighborhoods".

To distract the dogs...

He left a huge whole in his planning...

"Okay, I can sneak up on them after distracting the dogs, tie them up and silence them. Cover up their bodies and dispose of them. Is there anything else I should consider? Anything at all? Hmmmm...nope."

That ain't the only thing left with holes. Nothing says "hello" like an unexpected magnum.
