LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Little Rock police say a man is dead after shooting at
officers, who then exchanged gunfire, outside a shopping center.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the incident occurred Sunday afternoon
in the Shackleford Crossings shopping center. Police Chief Keith Humphrey says
