Two Arkansas teens killed after being struck by train while walking on tracks

CABOT, Ark. (AP) — Two teenagers have died after being struck by a train while walking on the tracks near a park in a central Arkansas town.

Liam Harrison and Charlie Elliott, both 16, died in Cabot on Saturday evening, police told local news outlets.

Officers said they found one of the dead teens laying on the side of the double-tracked Union Pacific Railroad line, while the other teen was found under the train, which stopped after a strike indicator was triggered.

The pair were found near a large park that includes baseball and soccer fields in the town about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northeast of Little Rock. There are no rail crossings in the area.

A witness told Cabot police that the boys moved to the northbound tracks when they encountered a southbound train on the tracks closest to the park. But the witness said a northbound train was also approaching, and the northbound train stopped shortly thereafter, apparently after hitting the boys.

Train crew members were not injured. Union Pacific, based in Omaha, Nebraska, said it is working with local authorities.

Man, 25, fatally shot in southeast Arkansas | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

The Arkansas State Police is investigating a Sunday homicide that took place about 9 miles from the state’s southeast corner, the agency announced Monday.

Around 8:15 p.m. Sunday, a Eudora Police Department officer on patrol heard what sounded like gunshots, according to a report.

The officer responded and was flagged down by witnesses who reported that Jamarion Plummer, 25, had been shot at his home in the 1000 block of North Main Street.

Plummer was taken to Chicot Memorial Medical Center, about 15 miles to the north, in a private vehicle. He was later transferred to UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, where he died from his injuries at approximately 11:30 p.m. Sunday.

The Eudora Police Department requested the assistance of state police. The investigation is ongoing.
