There's nothing more country than a bar shooting... if it takes place in a Johnny Cash song, that is.
Honkytonker Billy Joe Shaver has been charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawfully carrying a handgun for allegedly shooting a man in the parking lot of a Lorena, Texas, tavern in April 2007.
A McClennan County grand jury chose to indict the 67-year-old singer-songwriter on Wednesday, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald.
"No one notified me or my lawyer that this was about to happen,” Shaver told the paper. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t talk about it right now. That’s the way it’s going to have to be. I hope you understand. I’m real sorry."
The "Live Forever" singer is accused of shooting 50-year-old Billy Bryant Coker in the cheek after the two argued inside Papa Joe's Saloon. According to Shaver's arrest report, he supposedly asked Coker, "Where do you want it?" before pulling the trigger and driving away.
