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.

Only in America, Made in the US, The land of the free, the land where your dreams come true...and the horror. And now the theatre: an emotional reaction from Obama, hypocritical initiatives from politicians for arms control etc. What a stupid, stupid, pathetic country!
indeed.
the fact that it has taken this long to disarm America with such little success.
Yes, disarm America so you can ring in your bolshie slaughter. F'off.
believe dat!
#whitelivesmatter :(
Is it just me or did he miss alotta those shots?
I only say this because she ran away it seems
Looks like the first 2 missed - no?
RIP [if this is real]
Seems clear the first few shots missed - no impact.
At 0:18 she looks right at the guy as he's pulling the gun out. Sounds like he says 'bitch' as well.
False flag. This is not the Black Hand you are looking for.
Here's cached version because the normal won't load for me.

Perhaps I'm a bit jaded from all of the false media stories over the past few years, but since I don't see any blood I'm currently calling bullshit.
Is it even possible to get the perspective shown in the photo? To get the gun and the intented target in the frame? All the while the intended victims see nothing?
She looks at him in the video right when he first starts to pull out the gun. And she's not concerned about the guy she knows showing up out of nowhere first thing in the morning with a gun and an iphone taped to his ear?
Really, and how does wonderboy get off so many shots at the girl without the guy with the camera turning around and clobbering the bastard. Anybody who so much as shot a pumpkin with a 22 could tell you that you are going to see some visable affect on the target but not one hint of that here. It looks like he is shooting blanks out of a glock.
Another question is... why is the camera man filming off the balcony? Shouldn't he be filming the interview? Same shit different day.

The race card. That shit is so played out. (wose than we tu lo etc) I don't care if she got up on camera and yelled Nigger! You simply don't shoot anyone over such a trivial thing. You shoot someone when they are attacking you or breaking into your home at 4AM. Not because some cute white girl won't ride your small black dick.
"Dammit! None o' de YT chix at de TV station will fuck me!! I'll fix your YT asses!

Glock 32 Demo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUF27VG6lVg
This is what happens when hit by a Glock 32.
Did anyone see her chest or arm explode from impact?
I didn't see any damage like what's in the video above.
More gore is needed to make these stories real.
depends on the type and shape of the ammo. some shit will go clean thru you while other types flatten and make a big imapct wound.
the people that claim this is fake or staged are just idiots.....or paid trolls to make everyone on this forum look stupid.
She screams, turns around and RUNS.
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wdbj7-reporter-alison-parker-photogr...
I did not see an impact.
And she did not react as if she'd been hit.
You don't even hear her collapse on the wooden floor off frame.
chuck - depending on caliber and placement. people dont always just drop dead when shot. hell, deer can run for miles before they drop dead. the camera guy probably died almost instantly but if the woman was hit in the side or arms first she could have lived for a minute or so....? just guessing .....
Video I watched showed impact. She wavered and then turn and ran.
Exactly. They don't worry about these obvious tells because they are targeting the propaganda at those that are ant-gun or on the fence and most of these people have never fired a weapon and so the complete joke looks realistic to them.
She was a person, not a fruit.
I couldn't find a video using real people.
day of the jackal, I sensed it coming yesterday.
century of the idiot
On the auspicious date of August 17th, 2011, Barack Obama was looking ahead. Faced with the recent actions of Anders Brievik and contemplating the immanent 10th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, he stated: "The biggest concern we have right now is not the launching of a major terror operation, although that risk is always there. The risk we are especially worried about right now is the lone wolf terrorist. Somebody with a single weapon being able to carry out wide scale massacres of the sort we saw in Norway." The fact he was in a television studio speaking those lines to a man named Wolf Blitzer is just one of those coincidences that permeate our associative universe.

Amerika's a fuckin' war zone now,and the enemy is everyone..Thats why I take care of my shit between the hours of 4am-6am,when everyone else is sleeping..
apparently vestor want sleeping....
Thats one of the many reasons I thank my lucky stars I no longer live in the Useless Snakes. Between the gun nuts, the psychos and the fucking lying 'reporters' like this dead cunt. its a total shithole .
So is that why you served in the Air Force during Vietnam, dropping death from 30,000 feet?
You're a pussy hypocrite, DutchBoy.
I am NOT proud of that, asshole.
Guess what, fuckface. People change over 40 years.
But in your case, you will always be a total fucktard.
"Apparently Vester Lee was distraught over recent losses in the stock market."
There you go 3 more victims of the FED.
if he was pissed about the market why didnt he go shoot up the fed?
If it was a race crime, he would have shot all 3.
If it was job related, why not wait until the Christmas party?
We could have crowdfunded a private plane to Jackson Hole for the conference had we known of his homocidal tendency!!!
Wasted ammo!
ok so this guy was gay...so the reference to jackson hole is pretty offensive! /sarc
plus it wasn't a nailgun, so not likely due to market losses
the fax to ABC News was addressed to Brian Ross.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Ross_%28journalist%29#Notable_news_re...
Draw your own conclusions
What are you insinuating? I don't get the reference???? What does Ross have to do with it?
A negro slashed a deputy inside the Chester County court house today.
Damn! Don't YT know Bath House Barry gave us permission an' shit to commit all kinds o' violence??
How are you going to miss point blank, no blood, no hits, this looks like high school kids dreamed this up with a 40 dollar budget. I feel like this was to keep clickbait online as a distraction from something, they seem to love that. Plus the black white angle sounds delicious to the powers that be as always. Maybe its real, but i doubt it.
What a loser. Too bad the victims weren't armed.
Yeah all Americans should carry a sidearm on their hip and practice their quick draw. That would save lots of lives.
States with CCW and without gun control (disarm our victims for us, governor) have the lowest murder rates.
newbie huffpo instigator troll, probably best ignored. likely short attention span and if no response will get bored and go back to huffpo.
I like to stone trolls, so the other trolls don't bother to stop here.
Who's to say they weren't?
Even if they were...they'd just be corpses with CCWs...you have to see it coming to defend against it, and they were otherwise occupied.
I'm a Negro and you hurt my feelings, and I have a Constitutional Right to be Offended, so you YT MFs can eat lead!
You claim to be braver, but all the bluster on Gangland and TV documentaries aside, I know the mighty Nordic Warrior and his lust for Valhalla certainly has proven to be overblown. Every day shows them to be shuffling slaves for the chosen bankers like everyone else. They send your jobs abroad, promote your sisters and daughters fucking black dudes, break up your families with welfare, and you do...........NOTHING. Some of us have been waiting for you to get it cracking for along time, but we're finally figuring out the mighty Aryan Alemanni warrior is actually a bunch of bullshit. The Kehoe brothers and Joe Stack aside, counting on the rugged, brave, individualist white man to stand up to tyranny is like waitng for Godot.
Did anyone hear the woman collapse on the wooden deck after she ran off camera?
I didn't.
Maybe they forgot to dub the audio with the muffled sound of a body hitting the deck.
Does 100 lbs make a noise when it falls on a wooden deck?
Magic bullets. No blood, no splatter. No mess. You'd think at least 1 of 3 people alone would notice a 4rth approaching, brandishing a handgun 1-4 feet away.
We have a sense called ESPN. All three should have sensed the man approaching and spotted the gun.
I use mine to tune in to golf. What sports do you watch on yours?
2 Murricans bite the dust. 3 including the shooter.
Thats one ''reporter'' who won't be spewing more LIES on USA MSM.
No big loss. Fuck em all.
Hey...Mister Keyboard Cowboy...these two were NOT CIA puppets.
A local news crew. Not effing Jim Cramer.
I bet you just talk so tough in person....not.
So lighten up...have some respect for the dead....
Someday..it's gonna be you on the slab ese...and we don't want someone saying "fuck him" to your corpse now do we?
Bullshit, all script readers on ALL MSM both national and local are liars, they read the script fed them. PROVEN with YouTube videos. Should I post them?

You really are a troll, aren't you? And a new member of ZH to boot. God love ya.
I have been here over 4 years in different incarnations. Who cares if someone is a new or old member? Grow up, kid.
I've been proven correct once again. Serious stories about the financial markets get 40 replies. Stories with a racial aspect like this one get 720+ and counting. A white guy kills a bunch of blacks in a church and it is seen, as it should be seen, as a sick fucko not representative of our race. Conversely a black kills a white woman and low and behold, the narrative changes. The perp is somehow showing the genetic predisposition of all blacks to be violent. The low IQ argument is thrown in, as well as stats of rape of black men on white woman. If it wasn’t so tragic, I’d laugh.
For example a paedophilia ring, child sexual abuse scandals, as well as lone gunmen shooting up schools, or movie theatres, or churches are by far statistically the work of white sicko's. Not once have I seen the argument made on here that whites have a genetic predisposition to commit such crimes, or blame these crimes on our IQ's. Neither is there an argument that when we commit these crimes, to start a race war. This site should soon rename itself Stormfront-economics.com. The narrative by some people on here is truly pathetic.
I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that not only is Americas ‘politicians sick and the political system sick and corrupt, but by judging some of the views on this site, the people are also sick and are fully deserving of the political apparatus subjugating your sorry arses. For some of you deserve it. As the saying goes, for the politics to be warped, so must be the electorate.
Good post and spot on.
You got that right.
I wonder since this black/white/latino thing hit the news the last few years how many people now look at their neigbors or co workers with suspicion because they are a different race or nationaility. Racism is a disease, pure and simple. A disease is not defined as a physical illness in older dictionaries but as 'spiritual malady' and that is what is occurring today. I am not selling religion or promoting one faith over the other, for all you know I may be an atheist, but I recognize spiritual malady exists.
Bollocks. It'an awakening. You tend to become more conscious of the barbarian hordes as they start to mow your people down.
"My greatest flaw. I surround myself with idiots."

I'm surprised no one has dropped a Nightcrawler reference by now...
And the U.K. is better? Don't criticize another country's problems and people without recognizing your own country's issues first.
Call it payback for all that racist bloviating from the nigger in the White House, not to mention the 7-10x higher rate of violent crime committed by niggers across the USA. As to what happens when enough competent white people are tyrannized, look it up in the American history books. Then look up annual gun sales in the US, as well as concealed carry permits. If you cant see the whirlwind coming, you're a blind fool. And the national politics have been co-opted by unlimited super-PAC dollars, including those from foreign entities and the global corporate fascist cadre.
What a disturbing video. You can hear her say oh my god at the end. This is so sad. She was only 24. The guy is clearly a psycho if she had to report him to HR that quickly. They should give him the electric chair if he survives his pathetic attempt to kill himself. What a piece of s h i t! And he had the audacity to post a video after, I mean that is just a cold blooded sociopath. Racist piece of garbage.
Well, within the context, he was just being a nigger.
Man, those MK Ultra drugs really work!
"We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blond who
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout..."
Well, not anymore.
Don Henley fan here.
Nope, one less LYING cunt who thinks she is a reporter.
There are hundreds of murders everyday in the USA. Why all the hype?
Old new already. FUGGEDABOUDIT.
I'm black and the racist comments don't bother me at all, I don't downvote them. I've watched David Duke videos. I expected to hear the word nigger a lot but he didn't say it all in the ones I watched, he mostly just talked about central banking and the economy. It was basically just more familiar alternative news territory. I like David Duke.
What does bother me is how these supposed pissed-off white-priders, who are allegedly so dumb they're ready to have a race war, like they either believe blacks control the economy or don't notice the dead economy and DC and Wall ST crimes all around them, and that mostly seem to exist on the internet, don't do anything. That's what makes me think they are .gov shills.
If you read zerohedge and the only conclusion you can come to is to declare war against blacks and Mexicans, then you should know you are merely making white-priders look extremely mentally incompetent. Maybe that is your aim. But I know David Duke is a smart cat. I think it's .gov shills saying the most incendiary stuff.
How bout the racist comments of Preezy? Holder? Sharpton?
How far is Langley VA, has the perfect patsy MO for Murder Inc. (AKA:Al-CIAda). Is Congress discussing or about to discuss more gun-control legislation? I promise you this is going to lead toward more loss of gun liberties because people cannot figure out that what we need is more guns and more training on proper use of firearms; we are going to need it.
Nobody else noticed what the cameraman was filming when the even kicked off, it wasn't the two doing the interview. Nice little posters of the half live, half dead tree of life your flashing us at the start of the clip in his camera. You kabbalistic fuuks never quit, staged again.
Maybe it was staged. The woman is the first one shot according to the liveleak video. And that doesn't fit with the videseen earlier where the cameraman goes down before the woman moves. She did move backwards right away as he was shooting her first.
Ok, it's now nearly perfect. The shooter is (was?) conspiracy gold.
The shooter was a black-male-Gay-disgruntled employee. He admired the Columbine killers and the Virginia Tech shooter. No report yet regarding religious affiliation, recent conversion to a religion of peace, or any recent travel to Syria. We'll wait for it.
What a waste!
We could have crowd funded to drop him into Jackson Hole on Friday.
His old coworker at another station said he was well liked, a great guy--gave him a work referral and said he was life of the party at the office:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRsfny-ncc
In other words, this goes against the official narrative that he was always a disgruntled, racially sensitive troublemaker looking for revenge. What is the real story?
