    It's cool, Inky. I just wanted to point it out before someone else hammered you. You tried to hook me up with a sweet gig...I always got your back.

    Surfing sj while eating a burrito doesn't count as multi-tasking. :D

    I've not read anywhere else besides Jay's post that Gwatney has passed. Is he still alive?

    like f_b, surprised that nothing else has leaked out about it. not saying jay is wrong (i'd tend to buy him on this one), but everyone seems to be holding off for some official confirmation -- which you don't always see.

    CNN has it now:

    And the WaPo, which has the text of the Clintons' statement regarding Gwatney's death:

    AP moved an alert about two hours ago that the victim shooting suspect died. And as mentioned, CNN has the victim's death too.

    Halt the presses.
    Little Rock cops are now saying that the shooter was not a former employee of the victim. It may have had a deeper and as yet unknown motive.
    The secretary made the call because the shooter forced his way past her, she heard gunshots and she fled the building. She left her purse — cellphone — on her desk and went next door to make the 911 call.

    Thanks for answering my question, Jay. That makes total sense.

    Too bad scieznyiahc wasn't there to save the day.
