Special Agents of the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division have been assigned to investigate a shooting incident that occurred last night (Thursday, September 13, 2012) involving officers of the Warren Police Department.
At approximately 7:30 p.m. Sergeant Robbie Ashcraft and Patrolman Aaron Hines approached a local business property identified as, Abraham's Shop, where Davdrin Goffin, 29, of Warren was believed to be located.
