After shooting, alleged gunman details grievances in ‘suicide notes’

A man, described by authorities as a disgruntled former colleague, gunned down a reporter and cameraman during a live broadcast Wednesday morning, then posted video of the shooting online. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning.

ABC NEWS -Police have named a reporter they are seeking in relation the on-air shooting that left two dead this morning in Virginia.

Flanagan sent a series of Tweets from his cell phone, which is how law enforcement says they were able to locate him.

Flanagan worked at WDBJ from 2012 to 2013.

The gunman is believed to have fired six or seven times, Marks said.

Meanwhile, Vicki Gardner, the woman who was being interviewed by Alison Parker when she and Adam Ward were killed, was shot in the back during the incident and is in surgery.

But the company left footage of a terrorist fatally shooting a police officer after an attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris because it was documentary footage from an eyewitness.

But in Wednesday’s scenario, viewers didn’t even have to turn on the TV to see the shooting, because Williams’ social media posts quickly spread thanks to autoplay and an algorithm that prioritizes content based partially on interaction.

UPDATE-WTOP in Washington is reporting that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said, “Law enforcement personnel have a photo of the suspect”.

Parker, 24, and photographer Adam Ward, 27, were killed at Bridgewater Plaza near Moneta, the station reported later. They’d be eager to report that shooter’s motives with all the attendant politically correct hullaballoo about the racism and homophobia of the United States more broadly.

Parker was smiling when suddenly at least eight shots were heard.

Some experts say social media businesses are ill-equipped to make these judgment calls. After the murders, he went on the run – and while he was on the run, he tweeted out his rationale for the killings, accusing Parker of making “racist comments” and Ward of going “to hr on me after working with me one time!!!” According to WDBJ she grew up in Martinsville, went to Patrick Henry Community College and James Madison University.

The gunman is still on the loose.
