New information is pouring in regarding the double shooting this afternoon at an Army-Navy Recruiting Center in West Little Rock, Arkansas.

Just Breaking from ABC News...

The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned.

The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect's travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport.

Meanwhile, Arkansas Blog is reporting that the suspect is originally from Tennessee. From the Blog:

The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, lived on Mara Lynn Drive. He was formerly known as Carlos Bledsoe and apparently moved to Little Rock from Memphis two to three months ago. He also had lived in Nashville, Tenn. recently.

Tennessee, Nashville specifically, is home to a sizeable Somali immigrant population.
