Little Rock police officers are on the scene of a shooting at the Arkansas state Democratic party headquarters. Reports say that the state chairman, Bill Gwatney, is hospitalized in critical condition. The police apprehended a suspect in the shooting after a chase ending near Sheridan.
According to Today’s THV, a local station:
A sales clerk at a flower shop across street from the party
headquarters said that around noon, Gwatney’s secretary ran into the
shop and asked someone to call 911. She said a man had come into the
party headquarters and shot Gwatney multiple times.

Just a few minutes ago, CNN reported that Senator Edward Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor, found during tests following his seizure on Saturday.
There isn’t a full story yet, but there’s no doubt that no matter what path Kennedy follows in the future, this report will throw politics — from the Democratic nomination process to Senate business to Massachusetts state issues — into an uproar.
