Dammit. I wanted him alive so he suffered.

He made it to within 6 miles of my house. Guns are evil, I was waiting with a nerf baseball bat and some rose tea in china cups..

I would have broken out the crew weapon.

Same. Death is too good for this asshat.

Isn’t it interesting that when it’s a white perp intent on violence, they either surrender or go down in a firefight? Then the media can trot them out in front of the cameras and use them as examples of how bad white people and guns are for America. Yet you put a racist black man behind the gun, and all of a sudden it’s a travesty and he’s the victim. *spit*

You might be right. Considering he had a camera in his other hand, shooting a 9MM might be more probable.

He was fired at least 6 or 7 times. He had pictures working for a health care place, he was fired from at LEAST 4-5 stations and sued one in Tennessee and Florida for racism, and it looks like people kept hiring him.

Just so meaningless and stupid.

He is gay though - his pictures from twitter pretty much confirm he was definitely on the down low.

I’ve shot my fair share of 1911s, and the recoil from them makes accurate followup shots difficult. He was shooting with one hand. No way was he holding on let alone following up if it was a 45.

I hope your FB posting to him haunted his last minutes. Flanagan was the face of evil.

I was one of the very first posters on his page. I think I was number two.

Vickie Gardner, the interviewee in the video is out of surgery, expected to recover. Not sure of status.

Listening to a webcast on WDBJ7 now. Very interesting.

“Very loud and quite a bit of recoil. .45 maybe?”

I read 17 rounds fired The gun appears to be a Glock. That would likely make it a .40 S&W.

A .40 Glock carries 15, the G17 9mm carries 17. Looks like a G17 to me.

17 rounds in a 40? Really? 9MM double-stack I believe. But 40? That grip looks pretty thin. Single-stack or small caliber double.
