Virginia TV crew involved in shooting on live TV - CNN.com
CNN is reporting that from a historical perspective, 5 U.S. media have been killed on the air. The last time this happened was 2007.

Vester L Flanagan, a former station employee, a reporter who was fired is a person of interest.

He reported under the name of Bryce Williams and worked at many stations in the south.

Ick, the "media" is so disgusting. They should have expanded their headline to read "And #3 will TOTALLY Shock you!!".

Sick Sick Sick ..... he immediately posts video of his murder of these 2 reporters. What kind of monster does that sort of thing?

I've found 3 reports that identify Flanagan

The suspected gunman has been identified as Vester Lee Flanagan according to local media. Flanagan is a black man, 6 foot 3 inches in height and 250 pounds in weight.
