On 02/25/2025, at approximately 5 p.m., officers from the Leachville Police Department and the Mississippi County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of gunshots inside a residence in the 800 block of Elm Street, Leachville, Arkansas. Upon arrival, a family member reported hearing shots from a bedroom. As deputies approached, 55-year-old Jonathan Mark Robins fired at them from a bedroom window, prompting a retreat and request for additional support.
