“Bill Gwatney, chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party, died today, hours after a shooting at the party’s headquarters, former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a written statement. The suspect was shot by police after a chase and also later died, officials said. developing story”

Man is this going to cause some speculation.

There were earlier threads about this.

He was the Democrat State Party Chairman in Arkansas. Possibility that a disgruntled former employee did the shooting.

No. But that won't stop you from chalking it up as one.
