The Arkansas State Police’s Criminal Investigation Division is investigating a fatal shooting involving a Eureka Springs police officer.

According to an ASP news release, dispatchers with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call on Friday, March 1, from the Rowdy Beaver Den at 47 Spring St. in Eureka Springs. The caller reported that Christopher Vanschoick, 36, had a brandished a handgun during a disturbance, according to the news release.

Two Eureka Springs Police Department officers arrived at the location and observed Vanschoick sitting in his vehicle on the street near the Rowdy Beaver Den, the release says. The officers confronted Vanschoick, and a struggle ensued, according to the release.

“Vanschoick produced a handgun, and one of the officers fired his weapon, striking Vanschoick,” the release says.

Vanschoick was pronounced dead by the Carroll County coroner’s office. His body will be transferred to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory to determine the cause and manner of death.

The ASP will present an investigative case file to the prosecuting attorney, who will determine whether the use of deadly force was consistent with Arkansas law.

In a Facebook post, the Eureka Springs Police Department acknowledged that an officer-involved shooting had occurred in downtown Eureka Springs and said further details will be released as the information becomes available.
