CODY, Wyo. (AP) - The Cody Gunfighters show will not resume anytime soon.
The Cody Enterprise reported (https://bit.ly/2rvgHZB ) Wednesday the performers were unable to acquire liability insurance, which keeps the show on the shelf for the foreseeable future.
The show was suspended after a gun loaded with bullets rather than blanks was fired toward spectators during a performance July 29, injuring three bystanders. The Gunfighters show was shut down through the 2016 tourist season.
During a City Council meeting in April, Cody Police Chief Chuck Baker said as long as the Gunfighters followed the new conditions, which included acquiring liability insurance, he believed it would be a safe show and able to resume June 1.
Cody Gunfighters secretary/treasurer Tom Moore says he is hopeful the inability to get insurance won’t be a permanent issue.
