911 call in road-rage case: ‘This little kid’s been shot’
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Newly released 911 recordings depict a frantic, chaotic scene as a grandmother pulls into a Little Rock shopping centre and discovers her 3-year-old grandson has been shot in what police describe as a road-rage killing.
“The woman’s saying this little kid’s been shot,” a female caller said on the 911 call, released Tuesday to The Associated Press under an open-records request. According to police, the grandmother, Kim King-Macon, was in her car at a stop sign in the pouring rain Saturday when a man driving a black Chevrolet Impala opened fire on her vehicle, fatally striking the boy.
King-Macon told police that she didn’t realize her grandson had been shot until she pulled into the shopping mall about 10 miles from where the shooting occurred and discovered the toddler slumped over in his seat. No arrests have been made and the FBI said Monday’s it’s joining the investigation. A $40,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.
In the 911 recording, a dispatcher asks the caller — an apparent bystander at the shopping mall — for any suspect information. The caller yells: “Ma’am, do you know who did it?”
