Man opens fire in Arkansas court, is killed by police
The officials said the man, armed with two handguns and an assault rifle, opened fire on the second floor of a courthouse in Van Buren, Arkansas, in violence a police dispatcher said appeared to have been related to a domestic issue.
The gunman then left the courthouse and fired on a police unit sitting outside. Police returned fire, hitting the man. The gunman, who was not identified, later died, Crawford County Coroner Pam Wells said.A secretary for a circuit judge was shot and wounded in the melee, and a police officer was hurt by flying glass, officials said.
Neither of those injuries appeared to be life-threatening, said the dispatcher, Linda Hernandez, of the Van Buren police department.
