Families caught in the tragic shooting at an Arkansas grocery store sought refuge in the freezer as gunfire erupted, leaving four dead and nine wounded.
Victims included Callie Weems, a dedicated nurse and mother, along with Roy Sturgis, Shirley Taylor, and Ellen Shrum. Weems's family anxiously awaited news as the chaos unfolded. Katrina Doherty recounted hiding with her children, unable to call for help, while others prayed and cried nearby.
The gunman, identified as Travis Eugene Posey, exchanged fire with police before being apprehended. The incident adds to a disturbing trend, with nearly 240 mass shootings in the US this year. Calls for gun control intensify amidst ongoing violence, but significant action remains elusive.
Fordyce, where the tragedy unfolded, is a small community grappling with the aftermath of senseless violence.
