Salvation Army major shot dead in front of 3 children
By The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
A Salvation Army major was fatally shot in front of his three children Thursday afternoon as he walked into the the organization's community center in North Little Rock, authorities said.
Around 4 p.m., two black men dressed in black approached Philip Wise, 40, of Maumelle outside the community center at 1505 W. 18th St., Pulaski County Coroner Garland Camper said.
Wise’ children — ages 4, 6, and 8 — were walking with him when the men came up to them, police said. His wife, Cindy, also a major in the Salvation Army, was inside the center at the time and called 911.
One of the men pulled a gun, demanded money and then shot Wise, police said.
Police ask that anyone with information contact them at 758-1234.

Hetero-White people are a dime a dozen, so we don’t qualify as a hate crime.
Said a prayer for him-and the kids-this is so awful.
Evil never sleeps.
Living in an urban area is like living in some sort of war zone.
I live in the southside of Pittburgh and tuesday there was five shooting in my area, one of which was fatal.
Urban blacks are only one step above savages. I guess all those years of LBJ war on proverty paid off. No Fathers,Girls getting knocked up at 16, drugs flow like water, four generations of welfare hoodrats who dont want to work because Uncle Obama gives them money for siting at home and play on thier 52 inch plamsa TV bought with the earned income tax credit.
I would love to move to the Suburbs, but cash flow is limited.
me too
There , there onyx. Society is beginning to fall apart thanks to Obama.
Be at peace, now. We will get them in this new year, and no mercy!No listening to cries of “Big Tent,” and “progressive conservatives.”
We will take our nation back.
Ephesians 4:17-24
Living as Children of Light
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
May the God of All Comfort hold these dear servants close to His heart, and may the God of All Justice lead law enforcement to the killers of this man of God.
This is absolutely heart wrenching....
Oh may God’s Peace and Comfort come over those dear children and wife this day and they grieve this loss.
Sin and hate fill this world! Christ came to redeem lost men. He alone is the answer!!
Yeah, no doubt that the Salvation Army Major “acted stupidly” by being between these thugs and their “Obama Money”. AG Holder is drawing the presidential pardon papers now for signature so these “formerly disenfranchised” individuals don’t miss Kwanzaa with their family. /sarc off
Totally sad....hope they find and execute the perps
God bless this major’s children and family....
Prayers.
:(
I have heard these guys preach. They make well below the poverty level. They are good people. They are often found at homeless shelters working with the men and women. God bless the family.
Newspapers--Yesterday's news tomorrow!
There is something seriously evil in the Little Rock area.
The killing of a soldier at a recruiting station, the brutal slaying of Anne Pressley, now the gunning down of a Salvation Army major in front of his three children.
I know the nexus of evil in America was in New Orleans. You could feel it there.
It seems a portion has now shifted to Little Rock.
To kill a man dedicated to doing good for others, on Christmas Eve, in fornt of three little children.
The night they were looking forward to with joy turned into unspeakable horror. For the rest of their lives. A wife having to see her husband shot and having to call 911.
The inhumanness of this crime means only one thing—these thugs have to be put down like the rabid animals they are.
This wasn’t about robbery.To visit this amount of evil on innocents can only be from the Father of Lies himself.
Sounds like today’s South Africa.
Major Wise is in such an incredibly beautiful place right now it makes Hawaii look mediocre. What do bare feet feel like on transparent gold pavement?
Handel, Hayden, Mozart nor Beethoven ever wrote the kind of exquisite music he is hearing all around him
Best of all, he’s getting to meet his Savior in person and get a great big hug from Jesus!
You are so right, Brad’s Gramma. The horror and evil IS beyond words.
I pray that his soul will rest in peace and that God will embrace the family with comforting and loving arms.
What’s even better .. recent story about illegals leaving VA because of the laws/enforcement here vs. DC/MD .. so they have moved almost en masse to those jurisdictions across the river, and the people are screaming. Gotta love it.
This is beyond evil. Those thugs had to have some sort of upbringing where they were exposed to Christianity. Even to murdering thugs, I would think that gunning down a father, who has probably been responsible for one of these thugs family members having a present under his tree in the past, in front of his children on Christmas Eve would be heinous. I don’t understand. God help me, I do not understand how anyone could do such a thing.
As a long time resident of Maryland, I take this opportunity to accuse you of massive understatement.
Also, Martin O'Moron is a very BIG s**t, not a little one at all.
As worthless as these animals are, they possess enough cunning to have noticed this pattern too. THAT'S why the garbage demanded cash. It was solely to "disprove" the bias crime motive, which if convicted would lead to enhanced penalties.
These subhumans intended all along to murder a white human being.
The victim could be my DDH's twin brother. :-( That makes it even more painful to look at his picture.
May the two legged beasts who murdered this man be quickly caught and convicted, and may they receive the maximum penalties allowed.
