Second man arrested in Georgia music festival shooting

SANDERSVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A second man has been arrested on murder charges in a May shooting that killed two people and caused a stampede at a Georgia music festival. Washington County Sheriff Joel Cochran says 24-year-old Brian Keith Rozier of East Dublin was arrested by U.S. marshals. He’s charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, using a gun in a crime and reckless conduct. The shooting killed 17-year-old William Mykell Lowery and  30-year-old Christopher “Scooter” Dunn. Both men were attending a Freaknik-themed music festival at the private Larry Mitchell Ballpark in Sandersville. Washington County commissioners sued to shut down the park following the shooting.
