The shooting happened at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Virginia.

Well there you have it, camerman killed was the dead reporters fiance. Jealous ex seems more and more likely.

No. The cameraman was engaged to a producer, not the reporter.

[PghBaldy]

Some are saying they (reporter & cameraman) were engaged.

[ltc8k6]

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

[IYAS9YAS]

I believe even live has a delay and the producer sits on the button

It does, I think they were in shock.

[ltc8k6]

No, the cameraman was dating a producer.

The reporter was dating an anchor.

Thanks for the pic. I’m betting we’ll get an identity fairly soon.

[Red Badger]

Have no idea. This is absolutely horrifying. Both victims in their 20’s and just doing their jobs.

But of course, since Terry McCauliff is Governor of VA, then he’ll cal for more gun control laws.......................................

Why not?

What difference does it make if he was or wasn’t?

Thank you for the info.

They are engaged but not to each other.

[RummyChick]

that’s a good point. However maybe they didn’t have time..also i am sure they were in shock

This guy may have never been caught if not for the camera guy turning that camera as he was dying

Obama will probably come out and talk about gun control again.

....And also those in the clergy, and in a special way, Eastern Christian clergy.

[WayneS]

At least some of them were still there the last time I went through there - about 6 months ago.

It's also Amish.

Somehow I doubt it's an Amish terrorist.

[Biggirl]

Which for the issue of gun control, is a LOSING issue.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

That’s the first pic I’ve seen that looks like a Muslim.

“That’s not a beard, it’s shadowing”

Looks that way to me as well.
