KATV released this photo of the suspect after he was arrested in Little Rock. According to Army Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis, the two victims were not recruiters, but part of a recruiting program called "Hometown Recruiting Assistance."
A United State Army recruiter was shot dead today in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The New York Times reported:
A United States Army recruiter was shot to death and a second recruiter seriously wounded by a man who opened fire from a vehicle Monday morning in a bustling suburban shopping center here, the police said.
A suspect in the shooting was arrested minutes later a short distance from the crime scene, by officers relying on a description of the vehicle, a black sport utility vehicle, provided by several witnesses. An assault weapon was taken from the S.U.V., a police spokesman said.
“He fired off several rounds,” a Little Rock police spokesman, Lt. Terry Hastings, said. “We have no idea of a motive.”
The names of the dead recruiter and his wounded colleague were not immediately disclosed.
Springfield KY3 reported the two vicitms had just completed training:
Recruiting commander Lt. Col Thomas Artis says the victims had just completed basic training and were spending two weeks in Little Rock training to recruit in their home area, showing the difference that less than two months of training made in their lives.
