Military recruiter murdered in Arkansas

More political violence has erupted, this time in Little Rock, AK (Hat tip: Hot Air):
One Army recruiter was killed Monday and a second was wounded in a shooting at a recruiting office, and a suspect was arrested, police said.

Police Lt. Terry Hastings said the recruiter was shot when a man in a black SUV opened fire on the office in west Little Rock at about 10:30 a.m.

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 said they found an assault rifle in the vehicle.
Here's an extra report:
Authorities say the incident occurred around 10:00 a.m. at a U.S. Army Navy Career Center inside the Ashley Square Shopping Center at 9112 North Rodney Parham Road. According to Lt. Terry Hastings with the Little Rock Police Department, two enlisted soldiers standing outside the office were hit when the unidentified suspect drove up and began shooting.

Both of the wounded were taken to a nearby hospital, where one of the victims died a short time later, according to police.
My condolences to the victims of this savage crime.

UPDATE: wouldn't you know it: the perpetrator was a Muslim convert:
A Muslim convert who said he was opposed to the U.S. military shot two soldiers outside an Arkansas recruiting station, killing one of the soldiers, police said Monday.

“This individual appears to have been upset with the military, the Army in particular, and that’s why he did what he did,” Little Rock Police Lt. Terry Hastings said in a phone interview.

He has converted to Muslim here in the past few years,” Hastings said. “To be honest we’re not completely clear on what he was upset about. He had never been in the military.”

Hastings identified the man in custody as Carlos Bledsoe, 24, of Little Rock, who was going by the name of Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad. He did not have further details. The names of the soldiers were not released, nor was the condition of the wounded soldier.
Jihad Watch says that the culprit studied Islam in Yemen. Gateway Pundit asks if this is a case of "sudden jihadi syndrome". And Breitbart says that the culprit will be charged with one count of murder and 15 counts of terrorism.

ABC News (also via Hot Air) reports that the FBI had been on Mujahid Muhammed's trail for awhile. It's a shame they didn't apprehend him in time before he committed his sick crime.

Update 2: has Obama issued a statement about this yet? The Weekly Standard says he hasn't.

Others on the subject include Michelle Malkin, The Mudville Gazette, Cassy Fiano, The American Pundit, Right Voices, Blue Collar Republican, Jihad Watch (plus, another one), The Political Inquirer, Fire Andrea Mitchell, Newsbusters.

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
