He's still alive

WHAT? It's been reported he killed himself when the police arrived. 

And I just saw one of the heads of the station speaking about the victims on CNN and he said they were one of the nicest and hardworking people there. They were both so young...

So he's a journalist too??

Yes. He was fired from the TV station 2 years ago.

Oh. Didn't know the Charlie Hebdo attack was led by non terrorist citizens. And the beheading thing has no link with this other murder. Try something else ? You pro-NRA guys are never short of ideas to promote your stupid guns.

Where am I promoting guns here? "Only in America" is a very silly statement.

And this recent train thing stopped by US marines. And then there was the massacre of that family near Lake Annecy.

 

Want some more recent headlines? This happened just today, a massacre of four travellers.

This is terrible... I have seen the video of him shooting the reporter from his angle and it's even more terrible. 

''The accounts also posted an apparent justification for the shootings, accusing the reporter of having made racist comments and the cameraman of having reported the suspect to human resources.

Katie Love, who knew Flanagan while she worked for a competing station in Roanoke, remembered him as "almost like the joke of the market."

"Very odd guy, huge personality," she told NBC News. "He really felt like everybody was out to get him."

She said she was not surprised by the tweets sent after the attack "because it was always a race issue with him. He always felt like people were racist."

KPIX, the CBS station in San Francisco, said that Flanagan worked there as an intern and a writer from 1993 to 1995. An employee at WTOC in Savannah, Georgia, confirmed that Flanagan worked there in the late 1990s.

And in 2000, Flanagan sued a Florida station that had fired him, alleging racial discrimination, according to a newspaper report at the time.

"Vester was an unhappy man," Jeff Marks, the general manager of WDBJ, said on the station's noon newscast. "He had a reputation for being difficult to work with."

Marks said that Flanagan was fired "after many incidents of his anger coming forward" and was escorted from the building by police. His LinkedIn page said that he worked for WDBJ for a year, until February 2013.

And in 2000, after he was fired from a station in Tallahassee, Florida, he sued the station alleging racial discrimination, according to a newspaper report at the time.

The shooter even recorded the shooting from his point of view and uploaded it. :wtf: 

 

Even with the shots cut off, it's so terrifying seeing those two just happily doing their jobs when their lives are seconds away from being over. I also feel terrible for the woman being interviewed.

The first shooter is a terrorist, no wonder why he had guns.

We still don't know who the shooter is/was for the second massacre.

I just found out that the reporter used to work at one of the local television stations back home. I thought she look familiar :cry:
