Mr. Robot’ finale yanked after shooting

The “Mr. Robot” Season 1 finale episode will air at 10 p.m. Wednesday, September 2.

“Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this hard time”, “Mr. Robot” and USA Network concluded in the statement.

USA said late Wednesday that an unfortunate, unforeseeable coincidence prohibited it from airing the episode so soon after the shocking murder of two members of the WDBJ-7 news crew. The two victims were Alison Parker and Adam Ward, who worked for news station WDBJ in Moneta. The entire incident was out on social media after the gunman posted the videos of the attack on Twitter and Facebook.

He is drafted to work for an underground group of hackers called “fsociety” but twists later on in the show reveal that all is not as the viewer, or even the main character Eliot, perceives it. Following an incredibly positive response, the series has been renewed for a second season and is expected to premiere in 2016.

Suspect in the Virginia shooting has reportedly been killed for what could be self-inflicted wounds. No delay with the local broadcast of the show has been announced.
