A gunman killed a reporter and videographer for a CBS affiliate in Virginia in a shooting that was broadcast live Wednesday morning.
Alison Parker and Adam Ward, a reporter and cameraman for CBS Roanoke affiliate WDBJ-TV, died in the shooting, Parker's mother confirmed to CBS News.
WDBJ-TV reports that deputies from Franklin County and Bedford County were on the scene.
The shooting happened at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Virginia.
Dammit. I wanted him alive so he suffered.

Our ND hired and fired suspected shooter @Bryce_williams7 in 2000 in Tenn. Fired for bizarre behavior and threatening employees. @SanDiego6

Nope.
I would have broken out the crew weapon.

Worthless and no morals
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.
Not the same guy.
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.

Go pro video of the execution. What an asshole.
I hope your FB posting to him haunted his last minutes. Flanagan was the face of evil.
I hear ya... Has the killers death been confirmed yet?
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.

Reports saying he is still alive.
Brilliant repost. You win the internet for a day.

“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.
