Police say a mother shot her adult son in their Little Rock home Saturday afternoon.

Little Rock police spokesman Steve Moore said he did not know the names of those involved but that both are adults. The son’s injuries were not life-threatening, and the mother was taken into custody, he said.

Police were still investigating at the Leslie Circle home about 4 p.m.

A woman who lives two houses down said she didn’t hear gunshots but saw an ambulance pulling up to the home when she was taking her dog out. She said the young man was limping and appeared to have been shot in the leg.

“We’re just shocked. This is the sweetest street. We just love our neighborhood,” said another neighbor, who declined to give her name.
