One person was shot Wednesday at the Little Rock headquarters of the Arkansas Democratic Party, police said.

The suspect was shot by police after a chase and later died, police said.

Police block off the streets surrounding the Democratic Party headquarters Wednesday in Little Rock.

Police would not identify the victim, who is in critical condition at a hospital.

However, a witness told CNN affiliate KTHV that Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Bill Gwatney had been shot, and the Democratic National Committee issued a statement indicating Gwatney was the victim.
