A Little Rock police officer was shot Saturday about 8:30 p.m. while working in the area of Doyle Springs Road in southwest Little Rock, according to a Little Rock Police Department Twitter post shortly before 10:30 p.m.
The officer, whose name was not released, was at a residence following up on a terroristic-acts case from the previous night when shots were fired from a passing vehicle, according to police spokesman Lt. Casey Clark. The vehicle sped away after the shooting.
The officer was struck twice in the leg, Clark said. He was rushed to a hospital and was listed in stable condition at about 11:30 p.m., according to the spokesman.
The officer did not return fire, Clark said, and no one else was injured.
Officers urged residents shortly after the shooting to avoid the Doyle Springs Road area, which police described as an "active scene."
No additional information was available late Saturday.
