A person was killed and at least 24 people were injured in a shooting at a
car show in Dumas, Arkansas, on Saturday night, police said.

Police have not said what led to Saturday night’s shooting in Dumas, but
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said on Twitter that there were two suspects, one of
whom had been arrested and was being held on unrelated charges.

At least six children were among those wounded. The children who were
wounded by gunfire were taken to Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little
Rock, according to a spokeswoman. Most had been released as of Sunday afternoon.

“As the investigation continues I will examine details to see if there are
any steps that could have been taken to prevent this type of tragedy,” Hutchinson said.

Troopers, highway patrol officers and investigators were dispatched about
7:25 p.m. to a business where the car show was taking place, police said
in an earlier statement.

The event's organizers, a nonprofit group called the Hoodnic Foundation,
said it was “heartbroken and in shock at what took place during tonight’s
car show,” in statement posted to its Facebook page.

The group's director, Wallace McGehee, told NBC affiliate KARK of Little
Rock that he witnessed the shooting break out and tried to get children
out of harm's way.

“Getting down, trying to get kids out the way, that was the main issue for
all of us,” he said.

McGehee said the group encourages nonviolence. It's listed on transparency websites as an educational nonprofit.

This was the 16th year for the car show in Dumas, McGehee said. The other years, he said, were problem-free. Fliers advertised it as the
“NeighborHOOD PicNIC.”

“Send ya’ll prayers, send y’all condolences,” McGehee said.

The conditions of the people injured and information about possible
suspects was not immediately available.
