NextImg:BREAKING: Two people killed, eight others wounded outside Arkansas grocery store

After what appears to be some kind of AR-15 shootout between multiple people, two are dead and eight others are wounded.

Police took down a suspect while one of their own got injured with non-life-threatening injuries.

Here’s more from the Daily Mail:

Two people have been killed and eight others including a police officer have been injured following a shooting outside of a grocery store in Arkansas.

Law enforcement agencies responded to the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce on Friday morning to reports of a shooting.

State Police said that nine civilians were shot at with two dying from their injuries, while a law enforcement agent was also hit and has non-life threatening injuries.

According to officials the shooter was also critically injured after being shot at by law enforcement and has since been taken into custody.

Sources told the Southeast Arkansas Times that the shootout started between two groups of people with AR-15 style weapons.

Dallas County Sheriff Mike Knoedel confirmed to THV11 that the suspect was quickly detained.

Video emerged on social media of the scene with multiple shots heard being let off in quick succession.

Car alarms can be heard ringing out with the person recording adding that one person was laying in a parking lot after being shot at.

The camera then pans round to show one person laying on the asphalt surface as shots continue to ring out.

A Dallas County Courthouse employee told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that at least four active shooters had been involved.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the actual number of shooters involved in the incident.

Governor of Arkansas Sarah Huckabee Sand posted on X saying: ‘I have been briefed on the tragic shooting in Fordyce, and I’m in constant contact with State Police at the scene.

It sounds gang-related and I can only hope the two dead were one of the shooters.
