FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS, MAY 19, 2021
A would be mass shooter, 26 year old Zachary Arnold, equipped with a 'semiautomatic rifle' tried to lure residents of an apartment complex out of their doors in order to gun them down. An 87 year old grandmother named Lois Hicks went outside trying to console the distraught suspect, and ended up being pursued back into her apartment and killed. After killing her, the suspect resumed his spree, shooting randomly and trying to get more people out of the building into his line of sight. A hunter, presumably living in the same building or across the street, set up a bolt action rifle on a bipod and took the killer down with a single shot. The would be mass murderer was dead by the time authorities arrived on scene.
