A man is sought after multiple shots were fired at a police officer's vehicle Tuesday morning in Fayetteville, according to authorities.
City police officers went to a home in the 1600 block of North Saddlehorn Avenue in Fayetteville after a 911 call in which an argument could be heard about 4:45 a.m., the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
Police say Leroy James, 36, shot about four times at a police car when authorities arrived on scene and later fled the house, according to the newspaper. That officer reversed the vehicle and got away, Fayetteville police spokesman Sgt. Craig Stout told the newspaper.
No one was reported hurt.
A report of an armed subject in Fayetteville prompted the University of Arkansas to issue an emergency alert, though officials said there is "no known threat to campus."
UA, in messages sent Tuesday morning through its RazALERT Emergency Notification system, said an armed man was seen on foot near Deane Street and Porter Road, which is near Interstate 49 about a mile-and-a-half northwest of campus.
The person, identified later as James, was described as a black man with multiple tattoos who was wearing a black zip-up coat and black pants.
