Three people were killed and 10 others were injured in a shooting at an Arkansas grocery store late Friday morning, according to state police.
The shooting occurred around 11:30 a.m. local time at the Mad Butcher market in Fordyce, about 70 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas State Police Director Mike Hagar said at a news conference. He said there was only one lone suspect involved.
A total of 11 civilians were shot as well as two police officers who sustained non-life threatening injuries during an exchange with the suspect. Some victims were critically injured, Hagar added.
The suspect was also shot by police officers and taken into custody, Hagar said.
