The owners of a real estate office were reportedly shot to death at a five-star resort in Laguna Beach, Calif., on Sunday after they allegedly pointed a gun at police officers.
Kevin Christie Park, 49, and his wife, Joni Lynn Park, 48, of Mission Viejo, Calif., reportedly checked into the Montage Laguna Beach resort and spa on Saturday, "registering under false names and paying with cash," The Orange County Register reported.
Kevin Park was the owner and broker of Park Pacific Properties in Mission Viejo and Joni Park was an agent for the firm, according to the California Department of Real Estate.
Police said the couple had a bag of ammunition, and Joni Park had allegedly threatened to kill bystanders, the Los Angeles Times reported. According to one report there was "a crazy naked woman with a gun" at the Montage.
Police spoke to the couple from the patio in front of their room and the Parks allegedly took turns pointing a gun at officers. The Los Angeles Times also reported that the couple's gun was fully loaded when it was recovered by police.
Kevin Park had reportedly been licensed in the state since 2000, while Joni Park had been licensed since 1996.
