Police press conference in progress
Det. Tom Stolz w/ Wichita Police Dept. says Dr. Tiller died of a single gunshot wound. A 51-year-old suspect is in custody in Johnson County. Police say the suspect was arrested without incident after a traffic stop.
Stolz says formal charges are expected Monday. Suspect faces one count of murder, two counts of aggravated assault. Detective says suspect threatened two others who tried to keep him from leaving the area.

UPDATE: Some more information from Stan Finger and The Wichita Eagle. They’re not giving the suspect’s name which may be wise given the speed with which online mobs can form. He’s being taken back to Wichita right now.
More reactions:
The original assassination attempt on Dr. Tiller came eight months into the Clinton presidency. The parallel with today’s offense ought to be obvious: a pro-choice president takes office and the violent extremists go all crazy, whipped up by some of the same right wing radio talkers today as sixteen years ago.
Let’s waterboard him to learn of his ties to the rest of the anti-choice domestic terrorist system.
