The shootings occurred Thursday when officers attempted to arrest Emanuel Shoulders for the alleged rape, said police Sgt. Chip Pippen.Shoulders had apparently learned of the arrest warrant sworn out by his wife and picked up the girls at school, taking them to a brother-in-law's home, Pippen said. About a half-hour after police knocked on the door, they heard gunshots.
