JONESBORO, Ark. – If the Jonesboro Police Department can determine who fired at least three gunshots last night in Jonesboro, they face felony charges.

It began as Officer Christopher Pigg was first dispatched at about 11:02 PM in reference to a fight. Six subjects were alleged to have entered an apartment at the 500-block of  Melrose and fought, breaking several items inside in the process. But while the officer was on the scene, he heard loud screaming coming from a nearby intersection. Then, he heard three gunshots.

It was about 11:13 PM near the intersection of Melrose and Self Circle as the gunfire rang out, reports said. Police found three spent shell casings in the area. It wasn’t clear to witnesses or authorities if the shooting incident was connected to the individuals involved in the fight.

Both were being investigated.
