Army Recruiter Killed in Arkansas

I wonder what was behind this?
Little Rock police are working the scene of a double shooing. It happened around 10:00 a.m. at a U.S. Army Recruiting office at 9112 North Rodney Parham Road. The two men shot were U.S. Army recruiters.

Authorities have just told FOX16 that one of the men shot has died at a local hospital. The other man is still in serious condition.

The suspect fled the scene in his SUV and was caught near the I30/630 interchange.

Captain Randy Hickman with the Little Rock Fire Department tells FOX16 that the bomb squad has been called to the scene at I30/630. There is some type of device in the SUV the suspect was driving.

If it turns out the shooter was a rabid anti-war protester, let's see if the left criticises the anti-war crowd with the same vehemence they're criticising the pro-life movement for the George Tiller shooting.

UPDATE: From KATV:
According to Army Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis, the two victims were not recruiters, but part of a recruiting program called "Hometown Recruiting Assistance." Artis says recruiters use soldiers to tell their stories and talk to potential recruits while they are visiting or based back in their home region.
Both were reportedly combat veterans.

Michelle Malkin notes that Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered U.S. marshals to protect abortion doctors and clinics. When will he send marshals to recruiting centers?
