VAN BUREN -- An argument led to the shooting of four men Wednesday afternoon, Police Chief Jaime Hammond said Thursday.

The men, between 22 and 26 years old, were arguing inside a house. Hammond did not give the address of the home.

Hammond said during the argument, a 22-year-old man pulled out a gun and shot the other three men. One of those three then pulled out his gun and shot the 22-year-old.

The men were hit in the abdomens, torsos and legs, Hammond said.

All four were brought to a local hospital. One had been released by Thursday morning.

All four are expected to survive, Hammond said. The county prosecutor's office will determine any charges.
