A man was killed in a shooting Thursday evening in the 4500 block of Spradling Avenue.
Police were called to the scene around 7:30 p.m. Details of what happened were scarce, although Fort Smith police detective Mike Warren came out at one point, still wearing gloves, and gave a brief statement.
“There was some type of disturbance out here, the police were called ... in that disturbance a middle-aged white male was shot and killed,” Warren said. He declined to give a name, saying next of kin had yet to be notified.
Neighbors huddled in their yard to watch what unfolded, getting as close to the yellow police tape as they could without crossing. Flashing police lights cast a pale blue pall over the scene.
One woman who refused to give her name said the disturbance started over some people riding four-wheelers around the neighborhood, which she said spurred one man to call the police and the police to tell the riders to stop.
“And the guys walked over there, knocked on the door, and asked why did he call the police and he said get the f--- off my porch and shot the guy in the head,” the woman said, making a gun with her hand and miming the shooting action.
Around 9 p.m, an SUV backed into the driveway of the white house, and a covered body was loaded into it as neighbors looked on.
