Hearing postponed for man accused in fast food store shooting

Michael Johnson remained in the Carson City jail Thursday on two counts of attempted murder. He was being held in lieu of $100,000 bond.

Johnson is accused of shooting two people outside the fast food restaurant on South Carson Street. Several witnesses were subpoenaed to testify at a hearing scheduled Wednesday.

But defense lawyers said they needed more time to review police reports and local prosecutors said they wouldn't object to a delay.

The new hearing is set for Sept. 9 in Carson City Justice Court.
