Two Soldiers Shot Outside Recruiting Center In Little Rock
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!
