LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas State Police said that a Grant County man is dead after a shooting involving UAMS police officers Monday afternoon July 12, 2021.
Arkansas State Police are investigating the shooting.
ASP said that a 59-year-old Bobby Hollingshead was "brandishing a gun and directed police officers to stay away," according to a statement released Monday evening.
According to the statement, staff at the hospital has reported that the man "may have had intentions to harm himself or others at the hospital."
UAMS offices said that Hollingshead started to exit his vehicle and began to raise his weapon so the officers shot him wounding him.
He was taken inside the hospital for medical treatment but later died according to ASP.
Arkansas State Police are still investigating the shooting.
Once the investigation by ASP is completed, the case file will be delivered to the Pulaski County prosecuting attorney who will decide whether the use of deadly force by the UAMS officer was justified.
