A shooting on President Clinton Avenue that happened shortly after 3 p.m. Friday has traffic blocked east of Cumberland Street. We didn’t hear the shots from the Arkansas Times office a block away, but a tip came in at 3:36 p.m. that multiple shots had been fired in succession and, subsequently, that police were sweeping the Central Arkansas Library System parking deck with assault rifles and police dogs.

Police have detained two individuals. At least one person involved in the shooting was reported to have been wearing a neon green outfit and may have lost a neon green shoe while fleeing.

A black sedan (above) sat with a flat tire and shot-out windows. Here are some images staff photographer Brian Chilson took of the scene downtown following the shooting.
