Soldier Killed In Recruiting Office Shooting Email This Story Print This Story

A new soldier helping to attract others to the military was shot and killed outside an Army recruiting office Monday and a second soldier was wounded. Police arrested a suspect a short time later. A man inside a black vehicle pulled up outside the Army-Navy recruiting office in west Little Rock and opened fire about 10:30 a.m., police spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings said. The soldiers were outside the office when they were shot. They were taken to a hospital, where one died. The vehicle was stopped on Interstate 630 a short time later and a suspect was taken into custody. Hastings said the suspect pulled over and surrendered without incident. Police found an assault rifle in the vehicle.

Will the insanity never end? Now our soldiers not only have to dodge bullets when overseas fighting a war, they have to doge them when outside recruiting stations. If the suspect they have in custody is the murderer then he should be charged to the full extent of the law. Does Arkansas have the death penalty? What should become of the shooter?

Ahh Islam the Religion of peace. What a crock. A 23 year old Islam convert just wanted to kill anyone in a uniform.

Mr. Muhammad told investigators that he fired repeatedly at the soldiers “because of what they had done to Muslims in the past.”

“He stated he would have killed more soldiers if they had been in the parking lot,” Mr. Duncan said, reading from a police report.

How long do we allow this to go on?? Apparently the FBI was investigating him, why the hell didn't they pick him up when he returned from Yemen of all places.

Verdict: Fry Him!
