MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. - A police officer shot and wounded a Missouri man outside of a gas station in northern Arkansas after the man reportedly fired a gun at a bail bondsman, authorities said Wednesday.

Kevin Lee Donovan, 41, of Adrian, Missouri, remained hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday in Springfield, Missouri, after the Tuesday night shooting in Mountain Home, Arkansas State Police said.

Neither the officer nor the bail bondsman were injured.
