Shooting of Virginia Reporter and Cameraman
quote:
The shooter in a tragic incident Wednesday morning in which two journalists, 24-year-old Alison Parker and 27-year-old Adam Ward, at a local Virginia television station has been identified as 41-year-old Vester Lee Flanagan II. Reports say he was a former employee of the station, and went as Bryce Williams on air. Sources have also said the shooter is one of the victim’s ex-boyfriend, presumably Parker.
According to the local ABC affiliate, WHSV, Williams has shot himself. Though earlier reports from WDBJ said Williams had killed himself, later reports were revised to say he was alive and in critical condition.

This is crazy, it happened on live television. And the shooter later uploaded a video of the shooting to facebook.

I guess the main story, besides the ever present "Why the **** are there so many guns, and guns in the hands of violent people" is we see everything now so closely, videos of most things are ubiquitous, this was caught on camera twice (by the attacker no less)...it's insane.

Not the person. No is saying it is the gun's fault. But the gun makes killing two people a lot easier.

Suspect has shot himself after a chase but apparently still alive and in custody.

Not that I wish death upon people but it is annoying that he kills two people and the fails in killing himself; that would be better inverted.

I can do it with my hands. While I'm sure you are a Batman, killing two people and injuring a third, all of which are running away would be hard even for you.

Yeah, a thread about a very recent attack that took the lives of two innocent people is a great place for joking around, isn't it?

'awe'
noun
a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder; capacity to inspire awe.
Thank you for blessing me with awe, I thought my comment was pretty nondescript, but yeah, if you want to pile that kind of praise on me, go for it.

It always is, TI. If it's not a gun's fault then it's a specific red, white, and blue flag's fault. LMFAO.
