About 5:45 p.m., North Little Rock officers were dispatched to a residence in the area of West 18th and Augusta streets, according to Sgt. Amy Cooper, a department spokesman.

The victim, who had been shot in the leg, was taken by ambulance to a hospital, she said.

In Arkansas' capital city, officers were called to 7575 Cantrell Road, an apartment complex north of Ohio Street, around 7:40 p.m. for a report of a disturbance with a weapon, dispatch records show.

Lt. Michael Ford, a spokesman for the city's Police Department, said the gunman had shot a female in the thigh in a possibly domestic-related incident.

He reported the shooter was in police custody and added that it was still to early to say if the shooter will be charged.

Crime scene tape blocked off a sizable swath of the parking lot at the apartment complex Monday evening. A woman at the scene identified herself as the mother of the shooter and waited outside the crime scene.

No further information was available Monday night on either shooting.
