Police and neighbors are struggling to explain why a man described as a loner drove more than 30 miles to Arkansas' Democratic Party headquarters and fatally shot its chairman hours after getting fired from his job.

Police said Timothy Dale Johnson, 50, of Searcy, barged into Bill Gwatney's office on Wednesday and shot him multiple times. There were no signs that Gwatney and Johnson, who was later shot dead by officers, knew each other.

A Target retail store in Conway had fired Johnson early Wednesday because he had written graffiti on a wall, police said. Before noon, Johnson was in Gwatney's office in Little Rock with a handgun.

"He said he was interested in volunteering, but that was obviously a lie," said Sam Higginbotham, a 17-year-old volunteer at the party's headquarters.

A search of Timothy Dale Johnson’s home turned up 14 guns, a bottle of anti-depressants, his last will and testament and a Post-It note that bore his victim’s last name and a telephone number, sheriff’s documents show.

Yet another tragic homicide linked to Post-It Notes. When will our society wake up to the danger of these little yellow killers?

Tradition still causes me to question how the Clintons were involved.

Last night on the news it was reported that the Clintons issued a statement before official confirmation that Mr. Gwatney was dead. My first thought was did they write it before he was shot?

After Vince Foster, the phoney suicide note and everything else it's automatic.
