Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Gunned Down
August 14th, 2008Via: Los Angeles Times:
The chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party was shot and killed Wednesday by a man who barged into his Little Rock office.
The suspect fled, apparently to the Arkansas Baptist State Convention about six blocks down the street, where he threatened a security guard. When he left there, sheriff’s deputies gave chase and shot him after a 30-minute pursuit, authorities said. He later died.
Police identified the gunman as Timothy Dale Johnson, 50, of Searcy, the Associated Press reported. Johnson’s motive remained a mystery.
