Police responded Saturday to the John Cain Aquatic Center in Little Rock, Ark., to reports of gunfire at the facility. They arrested one teen suspect, and three victims were transported to the hospital.
According to THV11, the shooting began just before five in the evening. Stuttgart Police Department arrived to find one teen suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest and two others suffering from lesser injuries.
Local authorities have not released the names or identities of the suspect or victims, as all involved are minors.

“I look over and I just see somebody pull the gun, and I just see bang, bang, bang, and I turned around and ran this way,” said Jackson Fox, another teen who witnessed the shooting. “I see people jumping the fences and stuff, but I had came back inside and I just saw a bunch of little kids crying and a whole bunch of families just scared.”
The John Cain Aquatics Center will remain closed as the investigation continues, and police have asked any pool goers from Saturday to come forward with information.
“I come here all the time. I came here the last few years,” Fox said. “It was just crazy. I never would have thought that happened here.”
