A shooting outside a grocery store in Fordyce, Arkansas, on Friday around 11:30 a.m., left three people dead and at least 10 others wounded, Arkansas State Police said. 

Two law enforcement officers were among the wounded, but their wounds are non-life-threatening, Arkansas State Police Secretary of Public Safety and Director Mike Hagar said in a Friday afternoon press conference. 

The alleged shooter is in custody after exchanging gunfire with state police. The suspect was later identified as Travis Eugene Posey, 44, of New Edinburg, Arkansas.

Posey will be charged with three counts of capital murder, state police said in a Friday evening release. Additional charges are pending.

He added, "It was pretty hectic around here between 11:30 and noon" and that he saw a medevac land at the local hospital's helipad.
