Sadness... Virginia News Crew Shot Live

[Okie4570]

Craziness.

A man with a gun shot and killed two media members and wounded a third person on live television Wednesday morning while they were filming in central Virginia, and police were hunting the assailant.

Police were reportedly chasing the suspect on I-81, according to WHSV. CNN reported earlier that cops had the license plate number of the alleged shooter.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe said police believed the shooter was a "disgruntled employee" of the TV station, WTOP reported.

"Law enforcement personnel have a photo of the suspect," McAuliffe said. "We believe it's a disgruntled employee of the station, and they're in pursuit."

The two people killed were identified by WDBJ colleagues as reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27.

The reporter and cameraman were engaged.
Bad deal.

Terry McAuliffe will be calling for new gun restrictions.

A friend from another forum I'm on, who lives in the area, says her kids school is locked down.

I read the reporter was dating another reporter, not the cameraman...

Suspect offed himself.

Serious question though...
If it is true that this man killed the two reporters, how long until this gets swept aside based on race alone?

Why couldn't he have started with that step?

He recorded the whole thing and published it on social media. The look of terror on her face when she turned toward him...

Your right. Initial reports had them engaged, but since the real story came out.

Because racism. That was his excuse, in his own words. On video.
