Fourth person dies after shooting in Arkansas
Police said a fourth victim has died after a gunman opened fire at a shop in the US, injuring nine others and riddling cars with bullet holes as panicked bystanders scrambled for cover.
Arkansas state police said the person died on Saturday evening, adding "11 civilians, two law enforcement officers and the suspect" were hit by gunfire.
The shooting took place at around 11.30am local time on Friday at the Mad Butcher grocery shop in Fordyce, which is about 65 miles south of state capital Little Rock.
Those who died were identified as Shirley Taylor, 62, Callie Weems, 23, Roy Sturgis, 50, and Ellen Shrum, 81, all of whom were civilians.
The injured range in age between 20 and 65, police said. Four remain in hospital, including a woman in a critical condition.
Also injured were Fordyce police officer James Johnson, 31, who was released from hospital on Saturday evening, and Stuttgart police officer John Hudson, 24, whose injuries were said to be minor.
Police said the suspect is Travis Eugene Posey, 44, of New Edinburgh, and he will be charged with four counts of capital murder.
"He was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries after exchanging gunfire with law enforcement" and was then released to police custody and taken to the Ouachita County Detention Centre, police said in the statement.
Roderick Rogers , a member of the city council, said he called the sheriff when employees at his restaurant nearby notified him of the shooting. When he got there, he saw people running for cover in every direction. "People were just jumping into cars to get to safety," Mr Rogers said.
Video posted on social media showed at least one person lying in a car park, while another captured multiple gunshots.
