(ANSA) - New York, August 26 - A reporter and a cameramen
from a local TV station were shot dead on live TV in Virginia
Wednesday by a disgruntled co-worker, US media reported.
A second video of the shooting, apparently recorded
by the killer, was posted on social media even as police tried
to locate the suspect.
Reporter Alison Parker was interviewing an economic
development official about local tourism as eight shots rang
out.
She screamed, ran and could be heard saying "Oh my God," as she too was shot.
Adam Ward's camera captured a fleeting image, including the face, of a man holding a handgun. WDBJ quickly switched back to a shot of the anchor back at the station, her eyes large and jaw dropping as she said, "OK, not sure what happened there.
We will of course let you know as soon as we find out what those sounds were from." The suspect is Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, of Roanoke, said Becky Coyner with dispatch and records at the Augusta County Sheriff's Office.
