PERRYVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Police say a county jail guard in central Arkansas was shot and killed by a man being booked into the jail.

No names and few details about the Wednesday night shooting at the Perry County jail in Perryville, about 35 miles northwest of Little Rock, were immediately released.

A statement from Arkansas State Police says the suspect is a 37-year-old man who had been arrested by Perry County deputies.

The statement says state police were asked by the sheriff’s office to investigate the shooting and more information would be released later Thursday.
