Can't believe it, so tragic, and they were so young, and the woman being interviewed currently in hospital seriously injured. Seen the live footage on twitter. What knid of sick **** is this ? And when will the USA wake up to their gun violence problem ?

McAuliffe: We believe it was a disgruntled employee who fired at the TV crew. Not a case of terrorism. It is a criminal case.

It's amazing how many school shootings, including a primary school shooting, they are willing to put up with before they ban guns, almost like they get off on the drama of it, America really are in no position to preach to any other nation.

He's filmed himself shooting the girl, and just posted it on twatter.

By:
That was 7 mins ago and now they've suspended the account.
|
|
By:
His video is on liveleak
Unbelievable. Stood 2 ft away from 3 people waving a gun without any of them noticing. |
|
By:
I hope to whoever 'god' is that the families don't ever see those vids..
|
|
By:
Reports now saying he has shot himself
|
|
By:
If this was the other way round there would be six months of riots

By:
You mean if a journo had shot a psycho?
|
|
By:
Now saying he is still alive and critical
|

By:
POV vid shot by killer himself uploaded to his twitter account, now copied to other sites but removed from mainstream social media.
Sick man. http://www.kaotic.com/video/w83NJ7Gi_2015926153701_t |

He actually waits for the camera man to turn the camera back on her before he shoots, to make sure it was shown live on tv.
|
|
By:
Well, the murderer is sicker.
Although distasteful, we have an instinct to find violence interesting as learning about it is a useful survival trait, evolutionarily speaking. |

By:
That's what I was thinking.

I can guarantee that Kenny wasn't referring to my point!

Can't fathom out why someone would want to watch the actual shocking deed. |

Good point Patra, but I never watch anything like that if I can help it.

Just watched the footage filmed by the shooter
He is stood there pointing his gun at near point bland range at the female journalist for a few secs and isn't noticed, then points it at the cameraman who has his back to him, then points it back at the female journalist and shoots her 3 times and she tries to run away then the News channels camera falls to the ground. Unbelievable footage |
|
By:
Thanks for that.
I'll pss. |
|
By:
Yes not for the faint hearted kenny.
|
|
By:
There's no blood or anything in the video
Still find it incredible none of them noticed him. He isn't a small guy |
|
By:
He's dead.
Having worked for the same broadcaster he had unsuccessfully claimed racism against him. Was this act of sickening revenge a racist attack? |
|
By:
Zazu correct, it almost looks like a computer game( not that i play them) but the way the gun is pointing one in the camera, then he moves away, then he points it again all the time never being noticed, and then fires. No blood but i'm not a weapons and gun shot expert.
|
|
By:
What was the reason he did it
I understand he sent a fax 30 pages long explaining why |
|
By:
In the second video shoots the interviewer, then you see her run off, but does not shoot the interviewee in the video.
|
|
By:
In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II” He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:
“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…” |
|
By:
Seems like the guy was a real nut job ready to explode, like Mark Chapman who gunned down John Lennon.
Don't think anything will change regarding gun laws in America, nothing changed after the Sandy Hook killings, so after 20 children got shot and killed, nothing changed, and doubt if anything will change now. |

By:
here is some highlights of the shooter as a tv presenter for the station....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBGBverHV4 starts of with him holding a gun in a report  rather camp |

extraordinary bs being sold to the mugs regarding this story.
obama and hilary are out marketing for money and votes, but the shooter had neither a criminal record nor an assault rifle, and he was psychotic enough to wait out any withholding period, so democratic party legislation would have made no difference. No reason not to profit from this crisis though. the media have also decided to focus on gun rights, gay rights, and black rights even though the facts of the story don't match their narrative. the shooter had all his claims dismissed by the very liberal EEOC, however the constant political mythologising of gay / black persecution in one of the most diverse and liberal countries on earth persuaded him he was a victim who was justified in killing innocent people on the basis of a percieved slur, blasphemy, or insult. an honour killing much of the media will be very understanding toward, whether he used acid, a machete, ancar, a bomb or a handgun. |
