Little Rock - One person is in custody, and two others have been transported to a local hospital in serious condition following a double-shooting in west Little Rock Monday morning.

Authorities say the incident occurred around 10:00 a.m. at the U.S. Army Navy Career Center inside the Ashley Square Shopping Center at 9112 North Rodney Parham Road. According to Lt. Terry Hastings with the Little Rock Police Department, two recruiting officers standing outside the office were hit when the unidentified suspect drove up in a black SUV and began shooting.

The suspect led police on a brief pursuit towards downtown Little Rock before being taken into custody in the area of the Interstate 30/630 interchange.

5. Nobody deserves to be shot, but it will be interesting to see how the M$M play this.

The irony doesn't escape me that George Tiller was shot for being a "murdering abortion doctor," and the recruiters were in the business of enticing young people to sign up to kill and perhaps be killed in one of our useless and bloody wars. I have no idea what the motives of the shooter were, but I would not be surprised if he or she were motivated by the role of recruiters in bringing about death to the kids they sign up for service.
