As The Daily Beast reports,
In the tweets, Flanagan hinted at possible motives for the shooting. He tweeted about filing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint and alleged that the reporter had made racist comments. “They hired her after that???” he tweeted. The slain producer, he claimed, complained to HR about him after working together one time. His final text tweet boasted about filming the attack.
ABC News said it recieved a 23-page fax from Flanagan and turned it over to authorities.

While Americans are becoming numb to inner city violence, shooting sprees, and lone gunmen at military installations, the following stunning clip - from live TV at the Bridgewater Plaza in Bedford County, Virginia - of a reporter and photographer being shot and killed is likely to raise the public's awareness of the underlying chaos occurring under the surface in America every day...
A gunman has opened fire on a TV news crew conducting a live broadcast from Virginia shopping center on Wednesday. Police are reporting three victims, though their conditions are currently unknown. The shooter is still on the loose.
Video from the scene appears to show a crew from local TV outlet WDBJ7 being attacked in the middle of a live report at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Virginia.
A reporter was interviewing a woman at the shopping center when the gunman walked into view, firing what sounded to be at least six shots.
The station has confirmed the incident involved one of its crews.
Police are looking for the shooter and hope to soon release a description of the individual to the public.
Nearby Bedford County schools are currently on lockdown as police search for the shooter, ABC 13 reported. The Virginia Department of Transportation has reported a high-priority situation, announcing the closure of Route 122 in the area.

Why can't thiis happen to Megyn Kelly and Bill 'O'Reilly or other LYING reporters?
yet more evidence of a huffpo instigator jackass. go back to your peeps at huffpo already.
ABC News claiming shooter sent them a 23-page fax last night... who uses fax machines anymore?
federal and state agencies
If we banned selfies, this wouldn't happen.
Removed so the false flag analyst don't see it.
The shooter had white skin, but he self-identified as black.
Still blacker than the leader of Black Lives Matter....
Shooter was a Mulatto, so 1/2 Black, kind of like our King. Look for this story to go away real fast, at least in the MSM.
Only his right hand is white.
Just like Jeb's left hand was black.
Is Jeb Bush mulatto too?
...If Obama had a fired news reporter son...
Whom is he relater to in the wh?
Another Hafrican in action?!?
Could have been Obie's brother.
Disgruntled employee at a T.V news station. Pretty much a gurantee he's another leftist nutjob. The problem isn't guns, it's leftists.
The problem is fucking pyschopath Americunts, both left and right.
alfred, U B outta work since dumb and dumber finished shooting? I resent your americunts remark, we got bruce jenner er caitlin who killed with a 2000lb car while texting, he ain't no cunt,,oh wait.
Sez the guy who's country will soon be an Islamic republic.
haha you are a true moron. You shithole USA will be before we wil be. FUCKTARD.
Go crawl back into your trailer you shit for brains asswipe.
You have never BEEN to my country and cocksuckers like you are gullbile brainwashed morons.
Says the newspaper delivery boy born in Michigan.
Go create another sockpuppet account DutchBoy2015 / Heywood Jablowme.
You're a pathetic old man.
VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW THIS BUT ALL THE CAMERA MANUFACTURERS...are now required to have software that identifies black shooters and changes their color to white. check your camera software in the setting.
...or maybe the white balance is off and a light skinned black man looks whiter /lighter on video.
Vester Lee Flanagan, who is known professionally as Bryce Williams, has been identified as the suspect by the Augusta County Sheriff's office.
Sometime between last night and this morning, ABC News received a fax from someone who says he is Bryce Williams. It is a lengthy document – 23 pages. ABC News has turned it over to authorities.

The middle name of Lee is very appropriate.

Alas, someone that can see beyond the visible obvious.

I stopped a cop at the farmers market the other day to ask him if the radio by his head transmitted all the time. Affirmative.
I believe not all, but a lot of this cop aggression is due to this very thing.
Obviously the ones with necks as wide as their heads take steroids. VLF the ultimate Manchurian candidate with no drugs required.
A friend in the mil told me he's seen it literally disable & make a man puke his toenails up. My guess is they know exactly how to jack with every component of the body electric.
Hand holding the gun looks pretty peaked.

The fellow who shot the two reporters live on the air posted this video to his Facebook account. He actually filmed himself as he shot those two individuals. Unbelievable. We've entered a new age of reality folks.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=225_1440602498
Did anybody hear him yell "Worldstar!"
Not "Worldstar” but... "Horseshoe loves Bluestar"
Look at the hand in the video & compare skin tone in photo above.
I call bullshit.
Looks like the hand of Dick Cheney.
Yep, I refer to hands like those as pedophile hands. There is something just creepy about guys with really puffy hands who have nails that are extremely short. It's as if they bite their nails all day thinking "I want to phuck kids.... I want to phuck kids....I want to phuck kids".
Very much like playing Doom, the viewpoint of the shooter that is.
Let's see how long it takes for this narrative to fall apart ... counting 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 ...
How convenient to catch it live and tweet it too. Will these clowns never stop?
Faster than a Fed-induced QE orgasm designed to goose the S&P 500!
that glock looks brand new, and the joker is shooting with one hand.. so he's probably not x-military or law enforcement. this sad event reinforces the imoprtance of situational awareness.. being present and connected to your enviroment.
"situational awareness.. being present and connected to your enviroment"...lol you mean I gotta look away from my smart phone?? that's nuts man nuts I say..
Hammerless revolvers are the answer. And one shot google glasses.
"situational awareness?" The woman was doing an interview, on camera so she was focussed on that.
But the interviewee had to have seen him, she was facing in that direction - why doesn't she even move her eyes or show any sign of noticing? It's not like there was a crowd gathered - it should be difficult not to notice when a large man shows up, especially since his approach was from the direction she was looking.
I watched the video that "Vester" shot of the incident. For 25 seconds he hovered with a gun in his hand as they filmed the report. They are either totally oblivious or there is something strange. The dude isn't small either. He was within 6-10 feet of them at a time when no one else would be there. This isn't "situational awareness". This is "I have no clue when an armed assailant is hovering closely with a gun."
If we banned reporters, this wouldn't happen.
Well most of them are such a farce it could even heal the public brainwash ;).
Rt is reporting that he shot himself on I 66. Its funny how the Russians are the first one to report this they probably don't have to clear the narrative through Jewish TV.
The real shooter is probably Russian.
Skynews just reported that Vester offed himself. Maybe.
I call bullshit on that report.
I read gunman live tweets shooting as Goldman live tweets shooting.
So a black guy shoots her and claims she made racist comments which I guess must mean she deserved it. After all, no blackies ever commit crimes of their own doing from what the pc loving media and blacks who protest imply. Always those evil white racists that caused it.
Sad this guy seems to have had the typical black person mentality of always blaming others.
lore, :white lives don't matter. and no that is not hyperbole..
Slow your roll there reverse Rev Jackson... the shooter was white.
He was "of color".
kcmlo, try to keep up. black as night he was
LOL I wouldn't go quite THAT far, but yeah, I though his hand looked white but didn't check any further. My bad.
Whoops, nevermind, I'm wrong. Look like a white hand.
I still don't mis George Bush.

20-YEAR-OLD ARRESTED AFTER BIZARRE ALLEGED SHOOTING, BAGPIPES INCIDENT AT RICHMOND SCHOOL

The real shooter is probably a convicted killer recruited by an agency.
In a public hit like this, the patsy is generally dead before the hit.
I have seen pictures of thsi as a white guy and a black guy so far. Someone is lying. IN the video, the freeze frame looks like Ice Cube. The news won't say race. So I suspect it really is a black guy.

Another Chechen patsy?
You may be right!
Is this how the CIA and other covert groups get erections?
It looks like exciting work.
And you get paid too?
Damn, that's cool.
Until you become the patsy.
Is that why they recruit you from foreign prisons?
You have no US footprints.
Well, as sad and sick as this was, it's the first actual example of my dictum that "The World will not end with a wimper or a bang, but like this (holds cell phone up to record the incident)".
Seriously, no situational awareness from anyone, totally focused on what's in front of them while Death walks up to them, stands there for 20 seconds pointing a gun - while filming himself doing so - and nohting. Tunnel vision to the nth degree, until the first shot.
And some people wonder why "normal citizens" can't see the looming disaster that is unfolding before (behind, around) us. They can't even detect Death standing 5 feet away from them.
I weep (not actually, but metaphorically) for the vicitms and their families, but moreso for our Civilization.

Wow, she is really tough, three point blank shots and just keeps on running. No blood. But, it was on teevee, so it must be real.
People shot point blank usually don't run away screaming.
They collapse and bleed out.
Notice that her body doesn't seem to recoil from an impact - wouldn't she be knocked back or have her upper body twisted a bit? Wouldn't we see some skin through the bullet hole in her shirt, or some blood on the ground?
If the shooter was going to film the shooting, why would he not also show the dead bodies bleeding out?
Because he had to run home and upload the evidence against himself.
Maybe this is a new way to get recruited by the CIA.
Upload your portfolio of hits?
He killed 2 people, so that gives him "00" status.
Bodies only "recoil from implact" on TV. This is real life.
yeah, about as real as my 12 inch dick. The guy cut with the box cutter in France shed more blood than a 9mm at point blank range. This shit is straight up F A K E!!
I shot a lot of VC; each shot was different.
Just sayin'
I think some people here have watched too many movies. A few grains of lead at 900 fps will not send someone flying across the room or make them explode like a melon under Gallagher's sledgehammer. A hollow point is actually designed to stop INSIDE the body.
Virginia shooting: Gunman Bryce Williams detained, critical
http://www.rt.com/usa/313494-manhung-virginia-shooting-suspect/
I give the shooter Kudos.
This shooting is going to cost the ‘media’ millions and millions for security now.
Look at the media stocks, hope they get a bailout before they go out of business.
Agree, every MSM media-stooge will narcissistically assume they need a dozen bodyguards, when in reality, their life is as insignificant as the Upper West side homeless man who pisses in the middle of Columbus Ave before napping outisde Victoria Secret.
This will result in more gun control efforts.

Americans don't know what chaos is. Iraqis do though.
Guy was on his way to DC. Must have known that his buddy Barry was back in town from vacation.
Just as footnote to this tragic story which occurs too often in this Country every day (averaging more than 1,800 homicides each month nationwide majority of which are gun related) and many of which never get mentioned in the MSM like this one...
We have more than 450 hits on this ZH post of two people that were shot to death by a lone gunmen (obviously out of his mind) in a Country that has killed millions of innocent lives through illegal "sanctioned wars" and occupations of choice in more than 7 countries (that we know about) in 14 years... Yet this is the "front and center news story" after the revelations coming out of the financial world that is quite literally on the brink of total collapse which may lead to WWIII since the end of last week and the lies and deception(s) coming from the mouths of Fed officials who are silent on the carnage that is taking place and the comment(s) for those reads are less than 50 (in each)?
Just sayin...
You said it rght.
Actually the Useless Snakes has killed well over 10 million INNOCENT people around the globe since 1960.
Eventually karma comes back to you.
More like 10 million a year. People need to start counting up the cost from starvion due to militarised settlement and industrial farming. It is much the same situation as the Holodomor for much of the world USNATO steps in. Not to mention all the depleted uranium and toxic sludge which are derivatives of death for eternity.
Suffice it to say Americans have never really been too good with taking blame for anything they do collectively and tend to procrastinate on fixing those "kinds" of problems that could potentially do them the greatest harm!...
Never a great formula for future success!
EVen if your numbers are correct (which I doubt in their entirety), the US is still just "small potatos" to the leftists over the past century--150+ MILLION murdered by communists and their supporters--INNOCENT people as you say.
What Me Worry?
You said it rght.

You are exactly right. But posts about economic collapse and US wars of aggression don't give the knuckle-dragging Chump-voting racists a chance to get up from the folding chair in front of their trailer and whine about black people.

Vestor Flanagan? Sounds like a porn name
some fucking blonde bimbo script reading LIAR gets nailed.
Big fucking deal.
I sure hope a stressed customer doesn’t start shooting up the Cash Register Jockey while I'm waiting for my next latte.
If I had to bet my houses, I would have said the shooter was white. With a name like Flanagan, should I think outside the box like a few resident ZH retards and claim it must be those white genes residing inside him that made him commit this kind of crime, or call him a Manchurian candidate, or brainwashed, or a CIA/FBI patsy. Or was he just a sick fuck that killed for no valid reason? Personally I chose the latter, but with a forum full of geneticists and genetic experts in their field, I’ll bow down to their superior knowledge. It's funny that before his race came out, the debate took a civilised tone. Now the perp is known as black-mulato, it will slowly turn into racial flame bait.
If Barry had a brother.....
If people like us didn't exist, you'd be in a gulag today.
But don't worry, that gulag is waiting for you patiently.
Actually, it's people like you who enthusiastically man the gulag and fill it up - as long as it's full of the "right" people.
The racial aspects show the effects of "confirmation bias" on both sides. Blacks decide that everything is racist and that racism is new, directed at blacks only, and the worst sin in the history of the world. Whites see the demonstrations, screaming, burning and looting - as well as the rapes and other crimes - and attribute it to the race of the perpetrators.
Then comes the confirmation bias - this black man's relations with the blond woman quickly confirms his suspicions that a death-penalty crime has once again been committed against his race; it is not a question of a rejection or a personal affront, but a terrible crime deserving death.
Then comes the confirmation bias - the white people see he is black and are confirmed that this is a typical act of a violent breed. Out comes the vitriol.
And on and on.
According to the crime #s compiled by the FBI, niggers commit a lot more violent crime than whites, who commit more violent crime than Asians. Most IQ datasets show niggers are 10-15 IQ points, on average, less intelligent than whites, who are an average of 5 IQ points less intelligent than asians. Confirmation bias happens, but let's not lose track of what the statistics suggest about race, crime, and cognitive ability.
adjudged - your position is little wonky. the white man sees real violence against the woman...so it is confirmed. the black man 'perceives' violence against him. totally fucking different situation.
a very good point that will sail right over the heads of the Fox/Drudge crew.
Just dont forget to conveniently ignore the crime stats kept by the FBI. Or the available Iq-by-ethnicity datasets. . . It's simply confirmation bias, cuz publicly-funded NPR told me so.

It may be racist, but I'm fed the fuck up with Niggers.
Can't wait for him to claim racism for why he fucked up on trying to kill himself. You just know that somehow he is going to flip that to blame a white person.
I also expect the mainstream media is going to flip this to blame white people for holding the black man down if indeed this woman did make some "racist" comments. Can't wait for another round of white guilt tripping...

I refuse to watch the videos. I'm not weak, I respect the dead and don't want to participate in what the killer wanted, everyone to see his actions and press.
Suppose the fucker made a video of him killing himself? Would you watch that?
Just curious. No snark intended.
Nope. Won't watch either - fuck him.

What? I had to have 5 confirmed before I got "00."
Damn. More affirmative action.
It is the new normal. You can't kill people so self-absorbed, they're already dead.
Or it's a false flag. What's strange is that people are so detached from reality it becomes impossible to tell the difference between real events and false ones. Much like Poe's Law:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
Two possibilities:
1. Is part of a hoax narrative with crisis actors and the whole tweet thing is to suck the average mumpet into the drama and make them feel part of it. Then, when the inevitable effort is made to grab guns based off the "tragedy", they will be more likely to get onboard that effort.
2. Is a symptom of the sick narcissitic evolution of people, especially in the media as this "boyfriend" character gets his 5 minutes in the spotlight riding off the "tragedy" of the events.
That was my thought as well. Strange strange reaction.
That's fuked up.
