LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Police in Little Rock, Ark., say a man who likely 
had "political and religious motives" shot two new Army soldiers, 
killing one, at a military recruiting center.

Police Chief Stuart Thomas identified the victim who died as 
24-year-old William Long of Conway. He and the second soldier, both 
wearing fatigues, had recently completed basic training and 
volunteered to help attract others to the military.

The suspect pulled up a black vehicle outside the Army-Navy 
recruiting office in west Little Rock and fired shots about 10:30 a.m.

Thomas told reporters at a news conference that the gunman targeted 
the military but was not believed to be part of a broader scheme.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further 
information. AP's earlier story is below.
