Police: Gunfire injures man, also travels through child's bedroom window at Little Rock apartment complex

Gunfire at a Little Rock apartment complex Thursday injured one man and also went through a child's bedroom window, authorities said.

Officers were sent at 10:40 p.m. to Fair Oaks Apartments on 9600 W. 36th St. in response to shots fired in the area, according to a report from the Little Rock Police Department. Callers had reported several gunmen behind one of the units at the complex.

Eric Harris, 20, was in the parking lot when he was shot in the right shin, police wrote. He was taken to UAMS Medical Center to be treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Police added that bullets were shot at two apartment complexes. One bullet passed through the bedroom window of a 5-year-old child, who was inside the room at the time. A second child, whose age was not listed, was also in the house. Neither youth was injured.

The other bullet hit a neighboring apartment and stopped between the window and the window screen, the resident told police.

Two separate women also reported that their vehicles, a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr and a 2008 Chevrolet Impala, had been shot.

No suspects had been named, and no arrests had been made at the time of the report.
