JUNE 26, 1972
DALTON, Ga., June 25, 1972 (AP) —As eight young people listened to music at a party early today, one of them suddenly began shooting the others with a .45‐caliber pistol, the police said. Three were killed and two wounded.
Whitfield County Deputy Sheriff Farrell Carter said Jerry W. Hulsey, 23 years old (1949), recently returned from Vietnam, was charged with murder. The shootings took place about 1 A.M. as Hulsey and seven others listened to a radio in a house trailer near here.
Killed were James Norman Large, 23 (1949), the trailer tenant and described as a longtime friend of Hulsey; Steve Wayne McClure, 18 (1954), and his sister, Sherrie, about 17 (1955). Loretta Redden, about 18 (1954), was listed in fair condition at a Dalton hospital. Jerry Nichols, about 15 (1957), wounded in the back, was transferred to a hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
