According to CNN it appears they have a license plate number and a name.

The article about them back in the day described them as black Muslims i.e. Nation of Islam.

Not what Fox is reporting, the Reporter and cameramen were engaged.

Fox is wrong. The actual station these two worked for confirmed the cameraman was engaged to a producer. From the WDBJ website: Another journalist at the anchor's desk said Ward was engaged to be married to morning show producer at WDBJ and Ward recently told her, "I'm going to get out of news. I think I'm going to do something else."

Got to remember that we live in a time where there is a lot of “sleeper cells” or possible lone jihadis out there.

it’s shadowing.

That’s my impression. Possibly a scarf or turtle neck but most likely shadowing.

wonder how cold and damp it was there at the time.

Also odd to me is how the reporter’s boyfriend is calmly tweeting A LOT.

Oh, and are there Confederate battle flags on his page????

They don’t yell out his name as if they recognize him...

Good point. And if he was somebody not familiar to the people in the newsroom, it raises the probability that this was a terrorist act.

“According to CNN it appears they have a license plate number and a name.”

Perhaps they should share that information with the public .....unless it is an inconvenient truth

The YT video appears to be taken off a TV but I’m guessing the video on the camera’s disc is of much higher quality - and in the hands of the police. I hope they release a clear(er) pic of this demon if/when they launch an APB.

I know that. There’s an islamic community/compound in my state.

But that doesn’t answer the question.

Amy Jacobson:

Caught on camera in a bikini at Scott Peterson’s home pool. Excuse: “I was obtaining journalistic background for the disappearance of Scott’s wife.” Ummmm, yeah.

Tell us Amy, when is the NEWS not the NEWS?
Answer: When the NEWS becomes the NEWS!

I just heard this as well. I’m betting it was a jealous ex or something. Seems like he targeted the reporter and camera man. Or a psycho. Either way, it is a horrible thing to happen.

This chick is f**king INSANE.

What a low rent c**t POS. Trying to immunize all News Propagandists from any criticism BEFORE THE DAMNED BLOOD STOPS FLOWING. What a miserable excuse for a human being.
