Arkansas State Police investigates officer-involved shooting

OZARK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas State Police agents are investigating an officer-involved shooting that led to the death of a 49-year-old man in Ozark.

Investigators say Ozark police were summoned to a residence where a domestic disturbance was reported late Tuesday. Witnesses say that Ronald Elliot had locked himself inside his bedroom and was armed with a gun.

Authorities say a woman entered the bedroom and tried to disarm Elliot before police arrived. Witnesses say an officer then entered the bedroom and instructed Elliot to put down the gun before a gunshot rang out.

Elliot died at an Ozark hospital and his body has been transported to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory to determine the cause of death.
