No, it just means the police won't charge the shooter with a criminal offense.
But two other things are almost sure to result from this event:
One: the wounded guy will sue the bejeezus out of the shooter, the dealer, the facility and the gun show promoter. He'll win.
Two: the gun show's insurance company will cancel not only that promoter's insurance, but will likely cease insuring ANY gun show promoter.
For about two years now, the last insurance company willing to carry gun show liability has said, "One more and we cancel all gun show policies."
Without that insurance, no promoter could risk holding a show, and no venue will allow one to be held on its grounds. And that my friends means the end of gun shows.
