KETK and the Longview News-Journal report that police said Hasler was taken to the Marshall Police Department for further investigation after the 2 a.m. shooting. The gunfire occurred outside Charlies BackYard Bar in the 300 block of North Columbus Street, police said. The victim, 20-year-old Trey Austin Rogers, was listed in critical condition Monday evening at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, a hospital spokesman said.

Hasler was off-duty at the time of the shooting, according to the Harrison County District Attorneys Office. But according to Lt. Jay Webb of the Harrison County Sheriffs Office, Hasler resigned Friday. His resignation was for personal reasons, Webb said in an email. Webb did not say whether Haslers resignation was effective immediately or if he was still a member of the sheriffs office when the shooting occurred.

Police have not said what led to the shooting. The Texas Rangers are involved, said Marshall police spokeswoman Sonya Johnson. As of right now we dont have any specifics. Harrison County Sheriffs Department released a statement Monday morning saying, due to a Harrison County Sheriffs Office Deputy being involved in the incident that has occurred, further information would have to come from the Texas Rangers, who along with Marshall police and special investigators with the Harrison County District Attorneys Office, are investigating the shooting.
