On July 1, 28 people were injured at a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas. During the rap concert taking place at the Power Ultra Lounge, gunshots rang out, an initially it was reported that more than 24 shots were fired in an 11-second period. Though two arrests have been made following the shooting, both were on unrelated charges to the shooting itself.

Rapper Finese 2Tymes was performing at the venue when the incident took place. He was arrested on July 1 on unrelated charges to the shooting. The 25-year-old performer was arrested on unrelated charges of aggravated assault with a gun out of Forrest City in eastern Arkansas. Another Arkansas man, Kentrell Gwynn, was arrested at that time as well, though his charges have yet to be confirmed.

All persons who were injured in the shooting are expected to live. Police suspect the incident may have been gang-related, but those responsible for the shooting are still at large. Police Chief Kenton Buckner confirmed that multiple individuals fired shots. He also noted that now police know between 20 and 40 shots were fired, based on video evidence.
