"No offense, but I don't think we'll ever understand the youth. I'm 35, and I don't understand it; but I know many of my younger cousins are glued to their personal devices and social media. There's no disconnect, even in tragedy." That's very true. They grew up with it.

He probably was inundated with media trying to get information. By giving a complete written release it gives him his privacy to grieve without calls and people at his door.

Don’t think I’ve ever met a black person with the last name Flanagan.

I’m not going to search out all the articles I’ve already read. Why don’t you open your favorite search engine and search the relevent words? You might as well be asking for proof that there was a terrorist attack on 9/11. Quit wasting our time asking for documented proof of things you should already be aware of.

From our photographer, Griffin Moores: “Currently, there are six law-enforcement vehicles gathered at the Exit 99 on the Highway on 64. Officials not sure if the suspect is east or west of Charlottesville. I have seen mostly law-enforcement officers going eastbound on 64.”
Also, there are police officers stationed at the Fishersville exit watching traffic.
From education reporter Megan Williams: “None of the school divisions are on lockdown at this time.”
ALERT: Here is the alert, confirmed by the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office:
Lester Lee Flanighan (unknown spelling) light skinned black male 6’3” 250lbs 2009 Ford Mustang gray in color VA license plates: WZE-8846

So far I've only heard two people went down so hopefully the lady being interviewed can provide details on the shooter. What an awful thing to happen!
The woman being interviewed was shot in the back and was in surgery a few minutes ago.

Waiting for the BlacklivesMatters idiots to protest when this guy gets shot down when the car stops and he starts shooting at officersWe've been in a low-grade race war for quite some time now.
Except, only one side is attacking.

Yup, just heard his full descrip - 6’3”, 250lbs., 42 years old. Black, bald head.

Unfortunately the social media route may be healthier than some of the more “traditional” remedies such as alcohol. When I lost my best friend from suicide back in 2007, I drank myself into a 3 day stupor before finally going to an AA meeting to get myself straight.
