MONETA, Va, U.S.A. — A television reporter and cameraman
were shot to death on live television Wednesday in Virginia by a gunman
authorities described as a disgruntled station employee. A second video of the shooting, apparently recorded by the killer, was posted on social media even as police tried to locate the suspect.
Reporter Alison Parker was interviewing an economic
development official about local tourism as eight shots rang out. She screamed,
ran and could be heard saying "Oh my God," as she too was shot. Adam
Ward's camera captured a fleeting image, including the face, of a man holding a
handgun.
WDBJ quickly switched back to a shot of the anchor back at
the station, her eyes large and jaw dropping as she said, "OK, not sure
what happened there. We will of course let you know as soon as we find out what
those sounds were from."
Law enforcement confronted Vester Flanagan on Interstate 66 and Flanagan
shot himself, officials tell CNN.
