"If it hasn’t already been posted above, it is being reported that the perp has been identified and was a former “disgruntled” employee of the news station."

Thank you.

Well, I guess he's happy. He was ticked off so to make up for it he destroyed some innocent lives and, in turn, the lives of all those who love them.

What in the hell is wrong with people? How does that make anything better?

VA State police scanner traffic: “Suspect is a black male, armed and dangerous”

Not absolutely sure it’s the same suspect.

The English gave their slaves their names. Look at Derek Jeter his Great Grandfather was Greene Jeter and his father was a slave owner Jeter.

Oh, Laz, I'm sorry. Please don't be offended by my post. Folks react differently at such a time.

It’s possible that the police wanted him on social media to smoke out the creep and have him respond.

I wouldn't have guessed that from the stills taken.

I watched the YouTube video of it, and then looked at the stills. The YouTube video definitely shows the perp as darker skinned. The stills are less than helpful in that area.

As predicted; video of the shooting has been removed by YouTube.

I'm actually glad of that. I will freepmail you why. Don't want to give anyone ideas.
