TEXARKANA, Ark. (KSLA) — One person is dead and another is hurting after a shooting in Texarkana, Ark.

Luckey had been banned from coming to the apartment.

After Luckey forced his way inside the residence, he began physically assaulting his estranged wife, Tynisha Luckey, and a 48-year-old man while a using a blade weapon, police Sgt. Kristi Bennett said.

The wounded man was taken to a local hospital for treatment of severe injuries sustained prior to the shooting. Authorities say he is expected to be OK.

“Once this investigation is complete, the case file will be presented to the prosecutor’s office to determine what charges, if any, will be filed,” Bennett said.
