Saturday morning's shooting was the latest incident in what The Washington Post called a "violent week" for the Arkansas state capital. The city had already experienced a week of multiple drive-by shootings, though authorities have not given any indication that incidents are related.
Rada Bunch, who was outside the club on Saturday, was trying to find out information about her son, expressed frustration about the lack of information as well as the violence.
"I'm sick of all the killing and I'm tired of all the shooting, the kids getting hurt," Bunch said.
No arrests have been made in the incident and the police did not have a motive for the shooting.
