Bill Gwatney killed by gunman

Bill Gwatney has died from gunshots he received at the Democratic Party Headquarters in Arkansas. Bill Gwatney was the Arkansas State Democratic chairmen. Apparently the gunman entered the party headquarters and asked to speak to the chairmen. Bill Gwatney’s secretary told the gunman he could not see the chairmen. Then the gunman entered Gwatney’s office and shot the chairmen before speeding away. The police caught and killed the gunman after a 30 mile chase through Arkansas.

Gwatney was taken to the hospital after receiving the three gunshot wounds to the chest where he died a few hours later.

There is no word on what the motive was for the murder. Bill Gwatney was a super delegate and was planning on attending the Democratic National Convention later this month and supporting Hillary Clinton for the party nomination.
