The Saline County sheriff's office said in a news release that deputies were sent to the 8100 block of Russwood Lane West a little before 8 p.m. Investigators said one child was shot and was treated and released from a hospital.

Lt. Jeffrey Silk, a spokesman for the sheriff's office, said Monday that the office wouldn't release additional information on the shooting because children were involved.

The release said the investigation led to the arrests of three people: Zachary Mitchell, 22; Season Robinson, 28; and Geraldine Clements, 78. All three live in Mabelvale.

Mitchell was charged with two counts each of attempted capital murder and possession of drug paraphernalia.
