http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/technology/personaltech/violence-gone-viral-in-a-well-planned-rollout-on-social-media.html?_r=0 http://news.yahoo.com/cbs-journalists-shot-killed-live-broadcast-130723506.html "A pair of television journalists at a CBS affiliate in Virginia were shot and killed during a live broadcast Wednesday morning, and authorities said the shooter, a disgruntled former employee at the station, shot himself after crashing his car on an interstate highway. The suspected gunman, identified as Vester Flanagan, a 41-year-old former WDBJ-TV reporter who went by the name Bryce Williams on air, was taken into custody with "life-threatening injuries," police said. He later died. The victims, WDBJ reporter Alison Parker, 24, and Adam Ward, her 27-year-old cameraman, died shortly after the shooting, which occurred at approximately 6:45 a.m. at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Va., near Smith Mountain Lake. The family of the alleged shooter sent a note of condolence via email to the WDBJ-TV news team late Wednesday afternoon to express sorrow for the victims — and to make a plea for privacy. "It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we express our deepest condolenses [sic] to the families of Alison Parker and Adam Ward," the note read. "We are also praying for the recovery of Vicki Gardner. Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with the victims' families and the WBDJ7 NEWS family. Words cannot express the hurt that we feel for the victtims [sic]. Our family is asking that the media respect our privacy. Sincerely, The Family of Vester Flanagan." A chilling first-person video posted to a Twitter account belonging to Flanagan shows what appears to be him holding a gun behind Parker and Ward, then firing three shots as Parker tries to flee. "I filmed the shooting," Williams tweeted after alleging that Parker had made "racist comments" about him. The Twitter account has since been suspended, as has a Facebook account belonging to someone with that name. At approximately 11 a.m., state police spotted Flanagan's vehicle, a 2009 Ford Mustang, at a regional airport. Flanagan's rental car, a Chevrolet Sonic, was then picked up by a license plate reader, police said. Shortly before 11:30 a.m., a Virginia state trooper spotted the suspect's vehicle eastbound on Interstate 66. "He refused to stop and sped away from the trooper. Minutes later, the suspect vehicle ran off the road and crashed," the state police said in a statement. "The troopers approached the vehicle and found the male driver suffering from a gunshot wound." Flanagan was airlifted to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 1:30 p.m. At a news conference, Franklin County Sheriff Bill Overton said investigators had yet to establish a motive and were reviewing Flanagan's social media postings. Fisher said it was unclear if the suspect had posted the videos of the shooting himself. According to public records, Flanagan, who lived in Roanoke, had no known criminal history. He filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against WTWC-TV in Tallahassee, Fla., after the station fired him in December 1999. In the suit, Flanagan said he was the victim of racial discrimination and retaliation during his nine months on the job. The station denied the allegations, saying Flanagan was dismissed for poor performance and office misbehavior. The case was settled out of court a year later." |

I got the news this morning when I was on the road. It's pretty shocking, since at the time I thought it happened in my area until they said it was in Virginia. |
