Prosecuting Attorney S. Kyle Hunter on Tuesday night asked that the Arkansas State Police investigate a shooting involving two Pine Bluff Police officers.
According to State Police spokesman Bill Sadler, the incident occurred shortly after 10 p.m. when officers stopped a vehicle near 13th Avenue and Fir Street. He said that as gunshots were fired, the driver fled from the officers, who then pursued the vehicle. The car was found later near 17th Avenue and Arlington Street.
Police are attempting to locate the suspect, who has not been identified.
Sadler said that at this point in the investigation, it does not appear anyone was injured from the gunfire at the traffic stop.
The officers have been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.
No further details were immediately available on the incident.
