Bitter co-worker takes revenge for racial slights in horrifying shooting [Adam Ward's video]
The Daily Mail ^ | August 25, 2015 | Ashley Collman and Josh Gardner

Posted on 08/26/2015 10:18:43 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

A disgruntled former news reporter who shot dead two of his ex-coworkers during a live TV segment this morning is in very critical condition after attempting to kill himself.

Viewers of WDBJ, a small CBS affiliate in Moneta, Virginia, watched in horror this morning as the Vester Lee Flanigan II shot dead 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, on live TV as the two were filming a light-hearted segment at 6:45am.

After carrying out the shocking on-air execution, Ward rented a car at the airport and then started driving east.

Police finally cornered Flanigan just before noon, about three hours northeast, in Fauquier County, Virginia, but he refused to stop and sped away from troopers.

Flanigan then crashed the car off the road and when police surrounded the vehicle, they found him suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound.

Thank you for the post.

Was any punitive action taken?

Did any body of oversight judge her to have actually done this?

Executions are government sanctioned. This was not an execution, this was murder.

No, it was an execution.

Obama sanctions this.

"After carrying out the shocking on-air execution . . ."

Doesn't execution imply a preceding fair trial and verdict? This was cold blooded premeditated murder by misogynistic racist.

"Bit confusing that they are reporting that one of the victims rented a car from the airport."

It's not at all confusing. The victim of racial slurs rented a car.

I wished that people would stop saying filmed. Recorded, banked, or captured. Sorry it’s the old TV person in me.

Irony of ironies - a black shooter claims a reporter said racist things, which made him mad, and now he has killed her.

Did liberal media wonks never consider that their ridiculous support of all these phony claims of racism by angry blacks might end in violence against one of their own?

My Christ! They have a screen capture of the video on the story?!

My blood ran cold when I first heard of this. Seeing a photo from the video make me physically ill.

I’m going to need a stiff drink tonight...

I heard his employer on the radio this noontime tell some media types that that the guy had spent every minute at work trolling for anyone nearby to say something to which he could take offense. That is why he was terminated.

ON TARGET!!! Ever since the New Black Panther voting rights case Obola has done nothing but blatant racist agitation, constantly justifying the most frightful racist violence by criminal blacks against law abiding people of all other races and black cops. IOW he’s deliberately given a moral license to black criminals to perpetrate mayhem, and that’s exactly what he’s getting.

I blame Sharpton, Obama and Black Lives Matter....which is what they do to the NRA when there is a White shooter.
