In light of current events, USA Network has opted to postpone the launch of its sniper drama
Shooter until fall. “After further consideration, USA Network, Paramount TV and Universal Cable Productions have decided to move the premiere of
Shooter to the fall,” a USA rep said in a statement.
The move comes a week after
USA pushed the Ryan Phillippe-fronted series’ debut from July 19 to July 26 in the wake of the July 7 ambush of Dallas police officers that left five dead and several others wounded. Since that initial delay,
another ambush-style attack took place this past Sunday in Baton Rouge, LA., that claimed the lives of three law enforcement officers.
