The Pine Bluff Police Department is in the early stages of a shooting at the Saracen Casino Resort. At about 11:13 p.m. officers responded to a shooting that involved members of the casino security staff. Following a disturbance inside, members of the security staff escorted some patrons outside. Once outside those patrons went to the parking lot where at least two of them produced firearms. What followed was an exchange of gunfire between the suspects and the security officers. After the shooting, the suspects fled in a dark colored passenger car, possibly a newer model Nissan Altima.
One security officer was shot in the abdomen and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. At this time his injury does not appear to be life threatening. An exterior wall to the casino was damaged by gunfire and two cars in the parking lot were damaged as well. However, no patrons were injured.
The casino staff cooperated with the investigation and their security system aided in the quick identification of the suspects. The following persons are wanted for 1st Degree Battery.
- Tirek Langel age 22
