The woman being interviewed was airlifted to a hospital. I hope and pray she recovers. I also hope that she is able to give a good description of the perp.

“The suspect in the #WDBJ shooting is being chased north on I-81”

Oh dear. I hope he doesn’t shoot at any of the officers, but I’m guessing he won’t want to be taken in alive??

If it was someone the reporter knew it would seem like she would be saying something like “No Don no Don!” instead of just screaming.

Bridge water plaza is a “Boardwalk” with public boat docks on a 40 mile long reservoir. Smith Mountain Lake. Shooter could have arrived and fled by either car OR boat.

Didn’t read latest about being on I 81. He’d have better off to flee by boat so glad he didn’t.

I’m reading he’s being chased now? If true do you (or anyone else) know where on I81? Approx. mile marker?

Workplace revenge. It was a former on-air reporter who was the shooter!

"...A bystander could have killed the perp on the spot. This shooter will kill again before he is brought down just like the Chatanooga jihadi.
Those deaths will be on the witnesses that watched him run off..."


How can these shootings be "ON" innocent witnesses who were likely praying for their own survival?
They are simply bystanders minding their own business.
