Police say they have arrested 28-year-old Brett Hurvey for a daytime shooting rampage at a Little Rock convenience store that left the store owner in critical condition. He is being held at the Pulaski County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
Surveillance video from the shooting may have helped get the suspect off the street.
Sharif Quattom is co-owner of the Woodrow Food Mart and says the attack Sunday happened with customers in the store.
"That's the children here, a little boy, you see the little boy,” Quattom says pointing to the video monitor. “Now that's the first shot here. That's the first shot."
Surveillance video inside shows the chaos as a gunman fires multiple shots inside the convenience store.
"I've been here a long time and I've never see any crime like that in my business," Quattom said.
Quattom shows us another angle of the surveillance video, his brother Yusef checking a customer at the register, when he's hit by a bullet and runs for cover.
"If my brother wasn't standing right here that bullet is going to come over here and hit the customer," he said.
Moments later you see Yusef in the black shirt on the ground in a lot of pain.
"He's screaming and he needs help and he tried to call 9-1-1 to come help him."
Quattom says the dispute started minutes earlier when a woman started acting strangely in the store. "She started pushing the customers and stuff like that and she didn't want anyone to touch her." Sharif said at that point he just wanted her out of the store.
She left, but came back with a man in orange shorts and white shirt who police now say is 28-year-old Brett Hurvey. Quattom says that's when it went from bad to worse. "And my brother sees the gun and the employees come around him, they want to hold him. But he had the gun so everyone stayed away from him."
Video shows customers trying to push the couple out the door and then running when Hurvey comes back shooting.
"If it's easy for him to shoot human beings like that he could have shot somebody before. He's not normal, he has an issue, he's crazy."
Quattom says he was at another store when he found out what happened and just left the customers there. "I just lost my mind when they told me my brother had been shot.”
Quattom says his family has operated two stores in Little Rock for the last four years. They moved here from New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.
