Here at KevinsView.com we often times have been harsh critics of the Democratic Party. While, being here in Kansas, Bill Gawtney wasn't even on our radars. We deeply saddened and shocked by what happened in Arkansas today.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A man barged into the Arkansas Democratic headquarters and opened fire Wednesday, fatally shooting the state party chairman before speeding off in his pickup. Police later shot and killed the suspect after a 30-mile chase.
Police said they don't know the motive for the 51-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released.
They said Chairman Bill Gwatney, 49, died four hours later at University Hospital in Little Rock after the midday shooting near the state Capitol.

No matter, what our personal politics is, we wish no ill towards those that we disagree with. We at our family of blogs, would like to wish the Gawtney family our deepest sympathies. May God grant your family peace and comfort.
