DEVALLS BLUFF, Ark. (AP) — A 32-year-old Little Rock, Arkansas, man is dead after an exchange of gunfire Thursday with Arkansas State Police’s SWAT team.
The man, who was wanted on multiple felony warrants out of Little Rock, Sherwood and Pulaski County, barricaded himself inside a home in DeValls Bluff at about 9:30 a.m. and began firing at law enforcement, including state troopers and U.S. Marshals, state police said in a statement.
No troopers were hurt during the four-hour standoff, authorities said.
The state agency did not say how the suspect died and did not immediately respond to an email seeking further details. His name has not been released.
Mary Byrd, who lives near where the shooting occurred, told KATV-TV she was sitting on her porch when a police car, with flashing lights, sped down her street.
“He turned down the road from my house. Shortly after that, I heard six to eight gunshots and then here comes a bunch of police,” she said.
Debora Kendrick said her parents live three houses down from the shooter and her cousin lives right next door. She said people in the area were told to either leave their homes or stay inside until the situation was over. Her parents decided to stay.
“I was afraid for my parents and all of these other people that are standing here sightseeing,” said Kendrick. “It is just crazy to think that this is where I grew up at and stuff this serious could be happening here in this small town.”
