Arkansas Dem. Party Chair Bill Gwatney Shot
Arkansas Democratic party chairman Bill Gwatney was shot three times in his office on Wednesday and is in very critical condition according to a friend of Gwatney.
The officials said a single gunman fired three shots at Mr. Gwatney, a former state legislator, in his office a few blocks from the state Capitol and then drove away.
A friend of the Gwatney family, who asked not to be identified, said Mr. Gwatney was near death at the medical center of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and that doctors considered his wound inoperable.
The suspect, driving a Chevrolet pickup truck, was chased south for about 25 miles by police officers and was shot after he was stopped, said Lt. Terry Hastings of the Little Rock Police Department. The suspect was airlifted to a hospital and later died of his wounds.
Hopefully Gwatney can make a complete and full recovery.
UPDATE: Sadly Bill Gwatney has passed away.
