Pit and Barrel Owner Charged With Second-Degree Murder

Chris Ferrell

Here is an update to previous stories about the Pit and Barrel bar owner that was involved in a shooting at his own bar a few weeks ago.  The show was pulled by Spike TV, but then mistakenly was aired.

Chris Michael Ferrell shot and killed country music artist Wayne Mills at the Pit and Barrel and had claimed self defense.  It has taken a few weeks to bring charges, but today, Chris Ferrell was indicted on second-degree murder charges.  He surrendered himself to the police, and his bond was set at $300,000. 

His lawyer David Raybin said they will fight the charge and that his client denies he is guilty of any degree of homicide.

The statement from the Nashville Police Department is below:
