Huntington, West Virginia

From the Huntington Herald-Dispatch of March 3, 2007
Charges dismissed in nightclub shooting

Charges were dismissed Friday morning against a man who police say shot three people outside the Chickadee's nightclub in February.

The Cabell County Prosecutor's Office agreed to dismiss three felony counts of unlawful wounding that faced Harold Radford Porter, according to defense attorney David Perry and Magistrate Darrell Black.

Porter, 26, of Huntington had claimed he shot two men and a woman Feb. 3 because he was being targeted by several people from Detroit. He contends he fired in self defense.

Black said prosecutors dismissed the charges with a desire to present evidence to a future grand jury.

Porter had been free on a $30,000 bond.
