LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party was hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday, a party executive said.

A television station reported that three shots were fired at party headquarters.

“There has been an incident at the party and chairman (Bill) Gwatney has been taken to the hospital,” said Bruce Sinclair, the director of the state Democratic Party.

Police said they apprehended a suspect.

Sarah Lee, 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 and shot Gwatney multiple times.

Lee said the secretary told her the man came into the party’s office and asked to speak with Gwatney. When the secretary said she wouldn’t allow him to meet with Gwatney, the man went into his office and shot him, Lee said.

She said the secretary described the man as in his 40s and white and drove off in a blue truck.

Thankfully, the suspect has been caught. Hopefully Mr. Gwatney recovers, though he is in critical condition.

UPDATE 2: I just heard a Fox News radio update stating that the suspect was shot by police before the suspect was captured.

Also, it has been confirmed that Gwatney was shot multiple times, and is in critical condition.

Just from speculation, I gather that this shooting was perhaps caused by a previous disagreement, rather than an actual assassination attempt.

Police say the suspect burst into the office of Party Chairman Bill Gwatney and fired three shots. Gwatney is hospitalized in critical condition.

Police Lt. Terry Hastings says authorities chased the suspect into Grant County, south of Little Rock, and that he was fatally wounded during a 30-mile chase.

Hopefully we’ll be able to find out the suspect’s name and his motive for the shooting.

Today, Nancy Pelosi released a letter that she sent to Republican John Boehner in response to his and other Republicans’ demands that she reconvene congress and hold an up or down vote on “The American Energy Act.” The act, whose purpose is to lower energy prices for all Americans, includes an “all of the above” approach to energy which would encourage the full use of our oil and natural gas resources as well as solar, wind, nuclear, bio-fuels, and other forms of “alternative energy.” Republicans began a revolt of sorts after Pelosi adjourned congress for the next 5 weeks, without considering the Energy Legislation. More on the Energy Revolt Here.

Pelosi began her letter by stating “if we repealed the offshore drilling ban today, oil and gas production would not begin there until 2017, and impact on prices before 2030 would be “insignificant.” We cannot drill our way out of this problem.”

Later in the letter, she mentions that Democrats have repeatedly called for the President to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in order to have a near immediate effect upon prices.

So in one breath,

she says that more drilling or “more oil supply” would have and “insignificant” effect upon prices. In the next breath, she points out that Democrats want “more oil” released in order to “ease the pain American families and businesses are feeling every day.” She goes on to cite instances where releases from the SPR resulted in as much as 33% drops in fuel prices!

So which is it Madam Speaker? Are you saying that increasing supply causes “insignificant” decreases in prices or “major” decreases in prices? I’d love to see the look on your face in November when you realize that the majority of the voters in this country actually know the correct answer to that question.
