The Contrast:

Two Army Recruiters Shot, One Dead In Little Rock Shooting

Little Rock police are investigating a double shooting at a west Little Rock shopping center. Two Army recruiters were hit by gunfire. One of the victims has died from his wounds.

The two men were wounded outside an Army recruiting office in the Ashley Square Shopping Center off Rodney Parham Road near Reservoir Road around 10:20 a.m.

According to Little Rock police, someone inside a black SUV opened fire on two recruiters standing outside the office. One victim died late Monday morning. The other victim is reportedly in serious condition.

Recruiting commander Lt. Col Thomas F. Artis says the victims had just completed basic training and were spending two weeks in Little Rock to recruit in their home area, showing the difference that less than two months of training made in their lives.
