A man from Austell, Georgia, was subdued by a cowboy's lasso after he allegedly opened fire into a crowd and wounded three people attending a Memorial Day Weekend rodeo in Bartow County.
Deputies said Celestino Moras, 25, got drunk at an annual church picnic and rodeo. The property owner where the event was held said Moras was not an invited guest, and when other guests asked him to leave, he stood up, pulled out a pistol and started shooting.

The property owner said when Moras ran out of bullets, one of the rodeo cowboys lassoed him. Other guests beat him and tied him up until deputies arrived. Doctors treated Moras for facial injuries before deputies took him to jail, where he was charged with aggravated assault.
The three wounded guests suffered only minor injuries and were treated and released from local hospitals.
