Breaking: One Army “Recruiter” Dead, 1 in Critical Condition (Drive-by Shooting, Little Rock, AR)
One person is dead, another seriously injured, and a third is in custody following a double shooting in west Little Rock Monday morning.
Authorities say the incident occurred around 10:00 a.m. at the U.S. Army Navy Career Center inside the Ashley Square Shopping Center at 9112 North Rodney Parham Road. According to Lt. Terry Hastings with the Little Rock Police Department, two recruiting officers standing outside the office were hit when the unidentified suspect drove up in a black SUV and began shooting.
The suspect led police on a brief pursuit towards downtown Little Rock before being taken into custody in the area of the Interstate 30/630 interchange.
According to the Little Rock Fire Department, a bomb squad is currently on the scene, checking out a suspicious package inside the suspect’s vehicle.

According to Army Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis, the two victims were not recruiters, but part of a recruiting program called “Hometown Recruiting Assistance.” Artis says recruiters use soldiers to tell their stories and talk to potential recruits while they are visiting or based back in their home region.

So, as I just posted on the Dr. Tiller killer, should we blame this drive-by as a random crime by some malevolent individual or could we trump this up to being the entire, war-hating left? The same scenario here… Oh the irony!
I wonder how the MSM will report this – equal time to both stories and equal investigation as to the motives? That was a rhetorical question – don’t believe me while reading this? Then I implore you to note this story as well as the story from Sunday and let me know how the main stream media reports on each one.
