What isn't clear is what happened to the person who shot Gwatney?


Death Summary: Gwatney was in his office at the Democratic Party headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas when he was shot and killed.

The shooter, Tim Johnson entered the building and said that he wanted to talk to Gwatney about volunteering, but then walked around the secretary, found him and shot him. He was taken to the hospital (the same one where Roy Scheider had died earlier in the year) and passed away there.

Johnson left in a truck leading the police on a 30-mile chase out of town. He was then shot by the cops, which led to him wrecking the truck and later dying from his injuries.

Who was Bill Gwatney : William "Bill" Gwatney was the State Chair of the Democratic Party of Arkansas. He was a superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, and had previously served as a State Senator and Attorney General for Arkansas.

He was also a businessman who owned several Arkansas car dealerships.
