Was the former employee a Hillary supporter?

The victim owned a series of automobile dealerships in Little Rock. The shooter has been rumored to be an ex-employee who was out of work.

They probably are going to make it look like a crazy Republican did the shooting.

any chance this is Arkancide?

In the Clintons' own words: Bill is not only a strong chairman of Arkansas' Democratic Party, but he is also a cherished friend and confidante. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his family today and we wish him a quick recovery," they said
(http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/13/arkansas.shooting/index.html)

Yet another Clinton confidante gets shot.

It is terrible because in the US we do not celebrate the death of a political opponent. At least decent folks don’t.

LITTLE ROCK - A gunman opened fire inside state Democratic Party headquarters shortly before noon today. Democratic chairman Bill Gwatney was shot several times. Police chased the gunman to Sheridan in Grant County, where he sustained a gunshot wound and later died.

Only that he's no longer a loose end. The police made sure of that.

They saying the shooter may have been a fired former employee of Gwatney’s car dealership.

Prayers to him and his family.

When people post"prayers for the family"do they actually kneel and or bow their head and say prayers for the family or is this a touchy feely figure of speach?
No offense just curious

He was shot at the Democratic Party HQ. Something like this is an affront to our freedom in the election process.
