MARIANNA, Ark. - A 2-year-old was shot in the head in Marianna, Arkansas, one of the many gun violence incidents that prompted the town's officials to order a "state of emergency."

The 2-year-old’s grandmother, Karie Davis said that although he is now in good spirits, his life will never be the same.

"He’s got a drainage tube in his head that will be there the rest of his life," Davis said.

Davis said that the tube he wears has to be drained every six months for the rest of his life due to him being shot.

The police chief of Marianna, Arkansas said after the incident of 2-year-old Legend being shot and one where they had four people shot, all within a six-week period, is when officials decided to put a curfew in over the past weekend.

"I think it worked. It wasn’t a hundred percent because I don’t think anything can be but I think it curb some of the violence," said Chief Rodney Perry.

However, some residents who live there, like Legend's grandmother, feel differently, adding that one night of the curfew sounded like a warzone--something similar to when her grandson was shot.

Davis said she is doubtful that a curfew will even work.

"It’s not going to do anything because they’re still doing the same thing," she said.

Donald Harris, a resident, said his son was shot twice when he went to try to buy some weed last year.

Harris also believes the curfew does not have a promising future.

"Hell, after yall leave it’ll go back to the way it always was." Harris said.

Davis' grandson Legend was released from the hospital but is now back because of a leaky valve in his head.

The police chief believes that the incidents that happened within the past six weeks are all connected, committed by teens, and there is at least one arrest made.

However, before these recent shootings, the town averaged about a shooting a month, the police chief said.
