OSCEOLA — A 16-yearold boy was shot when an Osceola police officer’s weapon discharged as she was attempting to arrest him Friday morning, authorities said.
The boy, whom police did not name because he is a minor, was treated at a Memphis hospital and returned home later Friday. No officer was injured.
Osceola Police Chief David Gladden has asked the Arkansas State Police to investigate the shooting. Gladden did not return telephone messages Friday.
