Dozens of police cars are on the scene at 1300 West Capitol, and at least one ambulance was seen leaving as KARK 4 crews arrived. MEMS ambulance officials confirm one person was transported to the hospital from the scene.

Shortly after noon, police were reported to be in pursuit of a suspect in the incident on a Little Rock interstate.

Sounds like the suspect had it ‘in’ for Gwatney. FNC now reporting Gwatney is in very critical condition. The chase went on for 25 miles, before the suspect was apprehended (or shot?)

Prayers for Mr. Gwatney.

Let's hold off on the speculation and snide remarks and wait for the motive of the perpetrator.

Prayers for the victim and his loved ones.

Map of Democrat Party HQ

If I did this right, this should show the Democrat Party HQ at 1300 W Capitol Ave in Little Rock. The Republican Party HQ is on the other side of the same city block at 6th and Cross.

Amen. Prayers for this man who was brutally attacked.

Political affiliations mean nothing at this time for his health and for his family. Please grant strength to everyone involved.

Not sure what the motive of the perpetrator has to do with it but I agree about no need for speculation and snide remarks.

Prayers up for him and his family.

Boy these Demos really take their politics seriously huh?

Yes democrats are crazy. It's why I don't put any bumper stickers on my car or put yard signs out in my yard.

Yep, a week and a half before the Democratic National Convention, the chair of the Arkansas Democrat Party, who is a Hillary supporter, just happens to be shot due to a relationship issue.

Do I even need a /sarc tag?

My first guess is that the shooter was a jealous husband.

Person across the street who called 911 Saying Gwatney took all three shots.

That isn't good. Hope he pulls through.

The Arkansas State Capitol is under “lockdown” and some meetings have been canceled according to KARN.
