By STEVE BARNES and JAMES DAO
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A United States Army soldier was shot to death and a second soldier seriously wounded outside a military recruiting station here by a man who opened fire from a vehicle Monday morning, the police and Army officials said.
A suspect in the shooting was arrested minutes later a short distance from the recruiting station, which is in a bustling suburban shopping center, by officers relying on a description of the vehicle, a black sport utility vehicle, provided by several witnesses. An assault weapon was taken from the S.U.V., a police spokesman said.
“He fired off several rounds,” a Little Rock police spokesman, Lt. Terry Hastings, said. “We have no idea of a motive.”
The names of the victims were not immediately disclosed.
“We are only now beginning to question him, “Lieutenant Hastings said of the suspect.
