NLR shooting victim overpowers gunman

A gunman in North Little Rock was arrested Tuesday after his victim wrestled the weapon from his hands and fought back, authorities said.

Police arrived at 1416 W. Short 17th St. at approximately 4:20 p.m. and found Donnell Davis, 38, lying on the ground with wounds on his head, legs and chest, a report by North Little Rock police states.

Authorities said Davis is suspected of shooting another man in the leg during an argument. According to the report, the man wrestled the gun away from Davis and struck him with his fists and the weapon, injuring him.

The shooting victim’s wounds were not life-threatening and he was not taken to the hospital, police said.

Davis, who also received minor injuries, was transported to the Pulaski County jail on charges of first-degree battery and possession of a firearm by certain persons early Wednesday. No bail has been set as of Wednesday evening.
