WDBJ-TV reports that deputies from Franklin County and Bedford County were on the scene.

The shooting happened at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Virginia.

Yes, I heard that, she moved in with some guy. Well, I don’t approve of that and the poor chubby cameraman Adam got caught in this.

Taking bets on the perp living through this. My bet is he’s ventilated by the PD.

I can’t wait to hear Trump’s reaction to that Jacobson twit.

There’s no way he’s going to let that slide.

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

Some reports indicate the shooter may have been wearing a mask.

[who knows what evil?]

Thanks for the link!

You mean a human looking mask? A disguise?

[rarestia]

The reporter was shot in the back? How do you see that? The cameraman was shot first, I think that’s evident. The reporter and interviewee being shot was not recorded as far as I could tell.

Live field reporter calling in says Gov says suspect is being pursued, they know who he is, should be in custody soon, may be disgruntled former employee of the station.

It is surprising, this happened so early in the morning, one doesn’t expect crimes like this to occur during that time and probably in an area that isn’t too busy yet.

[AppyPappy]

Yes.

Not to be creepy, but the very first shot got her. She was already hit when she ran. The camera stays on her even until the camera man is hit too.

I corrected Foxes error many many messages back.

Yeah, we're just as bad as the journalists are sometimes. I didn't read all the way down before I posted.

[humblegunner]

I know that.

Obviously you forgot, since you had to be reminded that you "Got to remember!"

Yes indeed.. the voice of keen intellect has spoken.

Latest report is that the suspect is a disgruntled employee. That does not rule out someone who was also an ex-boyfriend or spurned suitor.

This bitch should get the same treatment as if she did the shooting herself.

She had just done a story on child abuse ..... maybe related, maybe not. Could also have been a stalker .... or just some random nut job. Facebook post by her boyfriend with pics - he’s heartbroken, of course.
