Family visiting from out of state speaks out in River Market shooting

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A shooting in a River Market parking garage after a family visiting from out of state was attacked.

Their identity will be concealed out of concern for their safety.

It’s a calm Wednesday afternoon, but on Memorial Day, it was a different story for a family visiting Little Rock from out of state.

They were in town to celebrate their daughter's seventh birthday.

"Taking her to the water parks, and the Zoo, just having a little family time with her," the father said.

This father, his pregnant wife, and their two girls were packing their car in a river market parking garage when they got attacked.

According to the police report, the wife said her husband was hit multiple times and tackled to the ground by another man.

Then, that person went to the driver’s seat where he struck the wife.

"Ah, just a fractured rib, and my wife has a couple of knots on her forehead where he apparently punched her," the father said.
