Liveleak.com has a video of the Live Report

I'd skip this one.

Do not watch the video.

I'll post the info from my thread here.

Camera man was engaged to a producer who was part of the morning show staff but today was her last day.

Anchor was dating another anchor at the station.

Right now there is no suspect in custody and reports are the person being interviewed survived

 

[Genx87]

That is effed up. I wonder if it was an ex-bf of the reporter? A disgruntled former employee of the station? The person who was being interviewed lived. Which I assume is because the person doing the shooting wasnt targeting her.

 

[MustISO]

That's nuts. I always wondered about this happening especially when I would see the reporters in very bad parts of town. Not familiar with this place in Va. probably a small town.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

Too farking scary.

 

[MontyAC]

News report says there were 3 victims.

Of course ATOT delivering the news before CNN yet again. However...

"Reporter Alison Parker was "rock star," while photographer was engaged to marry, colleagues say"

What the hell does that even mean?

To be fair, I saw the report on CNN and came here to see if anyone else had more info.

I'm at work and a lot of things are blocked, kinda surprised liveleak wasn't/isn't.

Where'd you find that Monty?

I saw a similar image on liveleak but they had gotten it from here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...nalists-killed-in-Virginia-shooting-live.html

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Where'd you find that Monty?

He is briefly visible on the screen during the video. It's interesting - I was not able to freeze-frame it and watching him at a 90-degree angle made it hard to make out his features at all. Based on that screenshot he appears (to me at least) to be a black male aged 30-50. Would probably (if not necessarily) rule out the idea of him being an angry ex-boyfriend, since Alison Parker was only 24.

I just can't even

christ

fuck people

 

[Udgnim]

video also has drops of blood when the camera drops to the floor

 

[CraKaJaX]

apparently shooter was a disgruntled employee. what a god damn waste.

 

[PricklyPete]

Fucking humanity.

 

[McLovin]

Sounds like they are chasing him on the freeway currently.

You never know when today is going to be your last day.

They woke up like every other morning. Excited to go to work, and probably doing a job that they actually loved. They couldn't even fathom that today would be their last day on earth, and some mad man with a grudge would change their lives forever.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I can't get over the idea that tons of people were probably watching that live. Fuck that guy.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

After watching that first beheading of the Jewish reporter which I said to myself its important to view to understand the brutality of these maniacs. I can no longer get myself to watch a video where someone gets killed.

 

[Mixolydian]

God damn.

Bryce Williams aka Vester L Flanagan appears to be a key person of interest now as ATF and FBI have joined forces with local and state authorities.
