— The Latest on the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old boy in Eastern Arkansas (all times local):5:30 p.m. The grandmother of a 16-year-old boy shot dead by police officers in Eastern Arkansas says her grandson’s killing was unjustified. Vickie Burks told The Associated Press Wednesday that trained police officers can injure someone without killing them, and that Aries’ death was unfair. Prosecutor Scott Ellington says 16-year-old saying Aries Clark pointed a black BB gun at officers when he was shot on July 25 in Marion. He noted that body camera footage shows Clark raised what appeared to be a pistol toward the officers outside East Arkansas Youth Services.
