Little Rock police are investigating a double shooting at a west Little Rock shopping center.

Two people were wounded outside an Army recruiting office in the Ashley Square Shopping Center off Rodney Parham Road near Reservoir Road.

According to Little Rock police, someone inside a black SUV opened fire on two recruiters standing outside the office. The victims are reportedly in serious condition.

Little Rock police caught up with the suspect at the intersection of I-30 and I-630 near downtown Little Rock. Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings says weapons were found inside the SUV. Hastings says the suspect is connected to the Army but wouldn't elaborate.

It appears that one of the Army Recruiters has died.

 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Police in Arkansas say a military recruiter has been killed in a shooting at an Army-Navy recruiting office in Little Rock and a second recruiter has been wounded.

Little Rock police Lt. Terry Hastings said one recruiter was fatally wounded when a man inside a black SUV fired shots at the office in west Little Rock at about 10:30 a.m.

The SUV was stopped on a highway 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.

The motive for the shootings was not immediately known.

Apparently they weren't even recruiters--just guys home on HARP duty....

According to Army Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis, the two victims were not recruiters, but part of a recruiting program called "Hometown Recruiting Assistance." Artis says recruiters use soldiers to tell their stories and talk to potential recruits while they are visiting or based back in their home region.

I was thinking that HARP was TAD and looked upon as an extended leave to your hometown for like 6 months or so?  I remember one of my crew mates getting assigned to it when  his first child was born, but this was back in the mid 80's.

More like a couple of weeks--we had kids do it when I was in recruiting.  Basically you got to double your time at home between duty stations as long as part of that time was doing HARP.

Police arrested Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, along a crosstown interstate moments after the shootings at the Army-Navy Career Center in a shopping center in west Little Rock.
Muhammad acted alone, the police chief said, and based on an interview with officers, the suspect "probably had political and religious motives for the attack." He lived in an apartment just 1.5 miles from the recruiting center. A search warrant had been obtained for the apartment.
Thomas said Muhammad, previously known as Carlos Bledsoe, would be charged with first-degree murder, plus 15 counts of committing a terroristic act. Thomas said those counts result from the gunfire occurring near other people.
The accused shooter's father, Melvin Bledsoe of Memphis, Tenn., hung up on a reporter who called about his son's arrest Monday night.

So the war has come home, eh?

What are the odds they'll claim it was anything but an attack against this country.

I'm not sure what higher is going to do, but my guys will be warned to be armed.

It seems to me that this is the fault of the anti-military left.  You can't call military men "Baby-Killers" and blame recruiters for every military death for years without some lefty deciding to take the matter into his own hands.  How many DUmp threads were there that condemned recruiters for talking "kids" into signing up and getting killed?  How many DUmp threads called the recruiters "murderers?"  How many leftist colleges have denied military recruiters permission to come on campus because they "promote violence?"  How many Code Pink protesters have labeled the military and recruiters with the vilest of terms?

Make no mistake, this is absolutely the fault of the anti-military left.  They all have blood on their hands.  The Obama administration needs to provide federal protection for every military recruiter immediately...and needs to shut down these violent anti-military protesters that are trying to force their views on the entire country through savage acts.
