SMITH COUNTY (KYTX) - The High Noon Gun Range has been muffled by a temporary injunction until an August trial.
Judge Jack Skeen made the decision to temporarily shut down the range after neighbors filed a lawsuit claiming it's dangerous.
When Pam Layne sold this land last year she had no idea a group of businessmen would turn it into the High Noon Gun Range.
But her name is mentioned as an owner in a lawsuit by neighbors aiming to shut down the range.
"I feel my name ought not to be on that suit because all I did was sell a piece of property without going through the real estate company," says Layne.
She still doesn't think there's any need for neighbors to be concerned about danger from the range.
"All behind them are trees up in there. You got thirty feet walls back there," says Layne.
We spoke with several neighbors at Summerhill, the neighborhood behind the gun range, those who are involved in the lawsuit had no comment, said we needed to contact their lawyers.
Those who were not part of it say they're happy it closed.
"May have the best intentions where they're aiming their guns, but can't control ricochets," says David Ball in an interview last July.
Ball is one of the homeowners who filed suit against the range, in this interview is from last year he told us about his concerns.
Concerns temporarily addressed, until a judge can decide what to do about this neighborhood brawl...
"Just taking another freedom away," says Layne.
With people on both sides of the fence.
One of the owners is Don Layton.
He didn't want to appear on camera, but told us today the owners plan to appeal the injunction.
The trial is August 6th.
