Grand jury decides against charges in drag strip shooting

The Harrison County grand jury today decided not to indict anyone for a shooting at a drag strip in Hallsville that left one man dead and three others wounded, two of them critically.

Grand jurors heard testimony about the shootings before deciding not to charge that four men who had been arrested in the case.

District Attorney Joe Black said the grand jury heard evidence that one of the victims pulled a weapon. The grand jury may have decided it was a case of self defense, Black said.

The shooting happened in June. The driver of an SUV, Cedric Johnson of Tyler, was killed and while three of his passengers were also shot.
