Victor A. Williams, 26, was to have stood trial Friday in Bristol, Circuit Court.

He and Samuel Allen, 28, are already serving 50-year terms in Bristol, for assault with intent to commit first degree murder during the September shooting. Two Virginia Intermont College students and a Bristol, man were injured during the shooting, which occurred on Sept. 24, 1984. The incident began in Bristol, when Williams and Allen were sitting in Williams' car. Allen fired several shots at a passing car, hitting passenger Charlie Smith above his right ear.

Following Smith's shooting, the two college students, Tammy Lynn Key and Diana Lynn Salyers also were shot and wounded as they walked home from a outing to an ice. cream shop in Virginia. Allen has already pleaded guilty and been sentenced to 46 years in prison for the Bristol, charges. Circuit court officials in Bristol, said Williams pleaded guilty to two charges of malicious wounding, two charges of using a firearm in commission. of a felony and one charge of shooting into an occupied dwelling.

He was sentenced to 56 years in prison, 10 of which will run concurrently. However, officials said Williams will get credit for the time he is serving in Tennessee, which means the Virginia sentence will run out while he is still serving time in Tennessee. According to testimony in the 1985 Bristol, trial of the shooting, Williams and Allen had gone to and from Holston Lake where they had smoked marijuana and drank to intoxication. The shooting also has led to a $1 million lawsuit against Bristol, and three of its officers by a local gun shop owner. The owner, Sam Sorah, was accused of making harrassing phone calls to Key when he was actually phoning to give her money to defray medical expenses incurred during the shooting.

The charges against Sorah were dropped, but he is suing, accusing officials of acting "maliciously" when they arrested him: Finished? Take your old Times-News copies to the Rotary Barn nearest you.
