Little Rock police say an off-duty officer who was working as a mall security guard shot two men in a shopping mall parking garage.

Officials say the officer fired upon a car he saw driving around on the lower level of the parking deck at the Park Plaza Mall about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. The vehicle was reported to have been involved in the attempted abduction of a 17 yr old girl.

A police spokeswoman says the officer saw something and felt threatened before he fired at the vehicle.

Both men were taken to a hospital, and one was treated and released. No other injuries were reported.

A Mobile man acquitted of murder 7 years ago now faces new charges in a shooting that occurred early Wednesday at a Prichard strip club, officials said.

Aaron Lytaun Dunning, 30, faces 2 counts of 2nd-degree assault and discharging a weapon into an occupied building. The shooting occurred about 3:10 a.m. Wednesday at the Toy Box Gentlemen’s Club on Wilson Avenue, Police Chief Jimmie Gardner said.

Prichard police arrested Dunning for allegedly shooting the club’s manager and security guard after he and another man were thrown out of the nightspot, Gardner said.

The gunman and another man – identified by police as Willie James Harris Jr. – fled in a red Cadillac, but were caught a short time later on Interstate 65, Gardner said.

Dunning was booked into Metro Jail shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday and released about 9:30 a.m. with the total bail for all 3 charges set at $9,000, records showed.

Gardner said that the club manager asked Dunning and Harris to leave “because of their rude behavior in the club.” He said he did not know what the men had done.

After the men were thrown out of the club, Gardner said, Dunning allegedly told the manager, “‘I got something for you’ and came back and shot both the security guard and the manager in the lower left leg.”

Both victims were taken to the University of South Alabama Medical Center with serious injuries.

A nightclub security bouncer and a partygoer celebrating his 30th birthday were shot dead outside a bar in Chicago’s River West neighborhood early Christmas Day, police and relatives said.

Robert Warren, 34, a security guard and factory worker Jose Duckins, 30, were both killed in the gunfire outside the Victor Hotel nightclub in the 300 block of North Sangamon.

Detectives Sunday were questioning a suspect who had been thrown out of the club earlier that night, but returned and “just started shooting,” Warren’s niece April Bullock said.

Her uncle, of the 7300 block of North Damen, “was just doing his job and he was killed for no reason,” Bullock added. “He had kids – we’re all in shock.”

No charges had been filed as of Sunday evening, and the shooting was still under investigation, Chicago Police Officer Veejay Zala said.

 The FBI’s bank robbery task force is investigating a brazen daylight armored car hijacking outside a Heights-area grocery store.

The armed man grabbed the Triple D Security van about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday while it was parked at a Kroger gas station in the 1300 block of West 11th at Shepherd.

One of the guards was inside making a delivery when the hijacker approached the van and managed to get inside.

“He gained access between deliveries. How exactly that occurred is what we’re still piecing together,” said Special Agent Shauna Dunlap with the Houston FBI office.

A second employee was inside the van at the time.

A short gunbattle broke out during the hijacking, but there were no reported injuries, officials said.

The armored security van was later found abandoned at the Colonial Apartments, 900 N. Durham. The van appeared to have been struck by gunfire.

“He could have had a vehicle stashed at that location or a vehicle stashed close by,” Dunlap said.

Investigators did not have a detailed description of the hijacker.

He got away with an undisclosed amount of cash from the security van.

Crime Stoppers will offer up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest. Call 713-222-TIPS
