How on earth did they not see him? The guy is right over the cameraman’s shoulder pointing a gun at the reporter, then hangs there for another 20 seconds before aiming again and firing.

Both CNN and Faux News are so far behind the reporting here on this FR forum it's palpable.

CNN

Now reporting police confronted perp on highway, perp shot himself.

Not known whether perp is dead or taken to hospital.

So is that the perp who shot them? If so, once again, it proves that Islam IS NOT A RELIGION of peace, IS IT A RELIGION OF MURDER!

When will people start waking up to this one singular fact?

To be fair, he probably wanted her to react when he did that. When she didn’t, he backed off and appears to wait for the camera man to pan back to her before he opens fire.

This is someone obsessed with himself and social media.

Also preliminary reporting that the shooter was an ex-boyfriend of “one of the people shot”

Ex-employee AND ex-boyfriend? Throw in some racial anger and it’s a dicey situation.

I can attest to that. Grateful he left the workplace soon after.

Did a Google search right after the perp’s name was released. This thread on FR was the fifth link.
