BISMARCK - A domestic dispute turned deadly Thursday afternoon after a gun discharged while a husband and wife argued over it.
The long gun ended up hitting both individuals, according to the Hot Spring County Sheriff Department, however, only the husband was killed. The wife left in handcuffs with non-life threatening injuries and may possibly face criminal charges when she recovers.
Local authorities arrived at the scene at 12:45 on Thursday afternoon to respond to a call of domestic disturbance involving a weapon on the 1400 block of Antioch Road. Three officers surrounded the house, armed with M4 automatic rifles.
Before the officers moved in, the couple's gun went off. Police say no officers fired any shots.
The coroner transported the body from the driveway at 4:12 this afternoon.
Names of the individuals involved are not being released at this time. Three children are believed to live in the residence where the incident took place but they were not home at the time.
Neighbors say police have been called to the house several times in the past to respond to domestic disturbance complaints.
The case remains under investigation by Arkansas State Police.
