This from KATV:

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 10:15 a.m. at a 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 enlisted soldiers standing outside the office were hit when the unidentified suspect drove up and began shooting.

After a brief chase, the shooter was apprehended. Police do not yet know what the motivation was for the shooting or if the recruiting station was specifically targeted.

**UPDATE**

We now know more about the shooter. He’s 24-year old Carlos Bledsoe better known as Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad — a recent Muslim convert. Not surprisingly, he has a grievance of some kind with the U.S. military.

The “religion of peace” strikes again!

Developing…

    Hi there,

    My name is Paul Zannucci, and I’m putting together a blogroll of sites, largely in Texas, that will support Michael Williams in the Senate election to replace Kay Bailey Hutchison.

    I realize it is a bit early in the process, but we are trying to get ahead of the game. As you are no doubt aware, Democrats have a significantly easier time getting both press and money.

    If you would like to join this blogroll, please email me at pzannucci (at) gmail.com. All you’ll have to do is fill out a brief form and place the unobtrusive blogroll into your sidebar. This is not being hosted by blogrolling.com, so there should be not problems with hackers and speed.

    The advantage to you and your site would be the link exchanges. We are only going after established, active, and relevant blogs.

    Thanks for your consideration.
