Bill Gwatney was shot after a man opened fire in the Arkansas Democratic Party headquarters on Wednesday.
Gwatney, the Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman, was shot three times by the gunman, who was shot by police after a chase and later died. A witness identified Gwatney as the shooting victim to CNN affiliate KTHV.
The gunman, who has yet to be identified, walked into the Little Rock headquarters, near the state Capitol building, and began opening fire around 11:50 a.m.
KATV, a local news station, reported that a blue Dodge pickup believed to be the suspect's had been wrecked and smashed against a tree in the nearby town of Sheridan.
People at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention said that just after the shooting, a man with a gun walked into their building. However, police have not said whether the two incidents are linked, according to CNN affiliate KARK, whose website is located at ArkansasMatters.com.
Former President Clinton and Sen. Hillary Clinton said in a statement that they are are "stunned and shaken by today's shooting at the Arkansas Democratic Party where our good friend and fellow Democrat Bill Gwatney was critically wounded. Bill is not only a strong chairman of Arkansas' Democratic Party, but he is also a cherished friend and confidante. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his family today and we wish him a quick recovery."
