An argument today at the Edwards Food Giant store at 1701 South Main St. in Little Rock escalated to the point that shots were fired, police said.

Lt. Sidney Allen with the Little Rock Police Department said that just before 1 p.m., several subjects were involved in an argument outside the store. As the argument escalated, someone drew a gun and fired several shots. No one was injured, Allen said, but a vehicle was hit.

Allen said officers stopped a suspect vehicle at 15th and Main. A weapon was reportedly recovered from that car, and the occupants have been transported to the detective division for questioning. Allen said it is likely some of those arrested will face aggravated assault charges. More information as we get it.
