In addition to our own relatives who are students at UCA and the profs we know, we are keeping the victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers while 3 of the 4 shooters are still free. Your girls as well, Betty.
Here is the latest from KATC channel 7:
Conway - Two people are dead, and another wounded after a shooting on the UCA campus after a shooting just after 9:00 Sunday night outside the Snow Fine Arts Building.
A UCA spokesperson has now confirmed both of the fatalities were students, and the third was a non-student who has since been treated and released from the hospital.
Campus police say the suspects ran into Arkansas Hall after the shooting. One suspect has since been taken into custody, but three remain at large.
Unofficially, and through our own unconfirmed sources the incident is gang related. One of Kyra's friends was one who called it in, so we are taking it to be a firsthand and accurate account. YMMV.
While all such incidents are of course scary and mind-boggling, when they hit this close to home (we have nieces, friends, etc who are students) it really takes on a whole new perspective.

It is scary stuff... this world needs a massive redo. What could possibly push someone to go and kill someone else? I know the reasons they give, but none of them make sense to me... my brain is boggled... which I guess is a good thing?
We've reached a serious point when this happens in the middle of Arkansas - and sad when I expect it from a large city.
The entire community is in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for the comment you left me today about my girls. It was a very scary night knowing my girls are in the middle of that and three men were still at large. It is such a terrible situation. My heart aches for the families of the two boys that lost their lives. I just heard they caught the third man. I hope they find the last man soon.

I'm so glad your family is well also!!! I kinda wish they wouldn't start school back up until they caught all the men.
It has been a sad week here in Arkansas....we had 3 teens die in Cabot....and of course Anne Pressley which is just beyond sad!
Makes you want to hold your loved ones a little tighter huh?!!!
Holy cow! I had no idea! That's what I get for not having TV, but that's not too far from me. My thoughts go out to those that have been hurt by this tragedy. And to your family. Hope they find the others that were involved.
This just breaks my heart.
This terrible. I can't even imagine how I would feel to have children there while that was going on. So tragic.
