In this file photo from Oct. 24, 2017, defendant Danny W. Queen talks with his counsel during his pretrial hearing before Douglas County District Court Chief Judge Peggy Kittel. Queen is charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder in the June 24, 2017, shooting death of Bo Hopson, 32, of Eudora, outside D-Dubs Bar and Grill in Eudora.

Jury selection will continue for a second day Tuesday in the trial of a man charged in a June 2017 shooting death outside D-Dubs Bar and Grill in Eudora.

Danny W. Queen, 37, is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 32-year-old Bo Hopson. Queen also faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder for allegedly aiming his gun at two other individuals and pulling the trigger, although the gun did not fire.

Queen had been asked to leave the bar after reportedly making lewd comments to women. As the Journal-World previously reported, Queen was lying on a trailer outside when, witnesses said, he suddenly pulled a gun from his pocket, got up and started shooting.

During the first day of selection, potential jurors were asked several questions about their views on guns and alcohol.

Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan specifically asked members of the jury pool whether they personally owned any guns and, if so, how many and what kind.

She also asked whether they could trust the testimony of people who admit that they’d been drinking at the time of the events they witnessed.

The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. on June 24, 2017. McGowan noted that was the weekend of Eudora’s annual CPA Picnic and that many of the people in the bar that night were in a festive mood and had been drinking varying amounts of alcohol.

Hopson, who was working security at the bar that night, was taken to the University of Kansas hospital for treatment after being shot. He was initially expected to survive his wounds, but he died the following day, June 25, from complications from a related medical procedure.

Defense attorney Joshua Seiden asked more probing questions about each potential juror’s views on guns. He asked them to rate, on a scale of one to five, how they felt about gun rights generally, with one being least in favor of individual rights to carry firearms and five representing those who believe there should be no limits on Second Amendment rights.

Seiden also asked panel members whether they belonged to or supported the gun control advocacy group Every Town for Gun Safety, as well as whether they were members of the National Rifle Association.

Finally, Seiden asked potential jurors about their views and opinions about self-defense, at which point McGowan objected and asked Judge Peggy Kittel for a conference outside the presence of the jury pool to discuss that issue.

That occurred shortly before 5 p.m., so Kittel dismissed the jury pool for the day, saying the selection process would resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The trial is scheduled to last through Friday.
