     (AP) – Police in Fort Smith say one man is dead and two men

are being questioned following a shooting on the city’s north side.

     Sgt. Daniel Grubbs says officers were called to a camping trailer behind a

home about 10:30 p.m. Saturday where they found 18-year-old Justin Lopez dead at

the scene.

     Grubbs says another man in the trailer told officers he and Lopez heard a

noise and Lopez saw several men outside the camper. The man said several

gunshots were then fired at the trailer and he hid in a bathroom while Lopez was

struck at least once.

     Grubbs said two men who are being questioned but no arrests or possible motive

for the shooting have been announced.
