A man is in critical condition after attempting to rob a couple at a parking deck in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to Little Rock Police.

Police arrested Markevious King, 37, for the Memorial Day shooting.

According to the incident report, the woman was in the front passenger seat of the vehicle and two minors were in the back seat as the man was attempting to load a wagon onto the roof.

The woman told investigators that King approached the man from behind and punched him several times. He then climbed into the driver's seat and struck the woman in the face.

Fearing for her life and the lives of her family members, the woman said she pulled out a pistol and shot King, hitting him in the head and neck area, according to the report.

King went to the ground and the woman called 911.

When officers arrived, they found King on the ground outside the driver's door. He received medical treatment and was taken to a local hospital.
