Arkansas suspect quit job on day of killing

Timothy Dale Johnson, the suspect in the slaying of the chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party in Little Rock on Wednesday, quit his job as a night-shift worker at a Target store in Conway, Arkansas, early that morning after an irate outburst, according to a police report and a statement from Target.

Johnson quit after he scrawled graffiti on the walls at work. KTHV-TV reported that the graffiti was rife with expletives and was critical of Target, raging that the store was run by "dumb jocks." A police report about the incident said that a store official characterized Johnson as "extremely irate."

Police officials said Johnson, 51, killed Bill Gwatney, the Democratic chairman, in the party headquarters Wednesday morning with several gunshots. After a long car chase, Johnson was fatally wounded in a shootout with the police, the authorities said.
