LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A 27-year-old man was shot in southwest Little Rock Saturday afternoon while he was smoking in the street, according to a police report.
A woman told police she was sitting in her car on South Monroe Street around 12:30 p.m. when she heard gunshots. Then, she reportedly saw a man waving in the street for help.
She said she tried to call 911 but the line was busy so she told the man to get into her car and she drove him to a nearby hospital.
