CALHOUN COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) — New details are being released about what happened at a Calhoun County race track Saturday night after someone opened fire. The shooting left one person dead and several others injured.
What started out as a car show and birthday party celebration at the Powerhouse Drag Strip turned into something deadly.
“It seems to have started over some disagreement about maybe a side wager on a race that was out on the track. Maybe with not wanting to pay out, guns were drawn and our deputies happened to be close and they engaged the shooter and unfortunately there is a lost life,” said Calhoun County Sheriff, Glenn Kimbrel.
Have not seen any releases on the name of the deceased but RSN has learned the deceased name. He is identified as Derrick Thompson of Dothan. RSN has known this since Saturday but has withheld the name until authorities released it. Since they have not we are.
Thompson is from Dothan.
