Reporter and Camerman killed on air.

[TAX GUY]

Probably not necessary to post alleged murder's name...

I don't see why not?

 

[Kalliope]

Shooter has been identified by the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office: He is Vester Lee Flanagan, age 41.

That wasn't the name reported by other news stations.

 

[palmtreegirl]

He's also known as Bryce Williams. He uploaded the killing to social media, it's still on You Tube.

 

[cheerful chickadee]

That wasn't the name reported by other news stations.

The said his real name was Vester Lee Flanagan but his social media name was Bryce Williams

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Goes by two names:

http://www.nbc12.com/story/29882220/sources-wdbj-shooting-suspect-is-former-reporter-bryce-williams

"The suspect in the deadly shooting of a WDBJ7 reporter and photographer on live television on Wednesday morning is a disgruntled former reporter at the station, according to sources.

Vester Lee Flanagan, who reported under the name Bryce Williams at the station, is currently on the loose. Virginia State Police say there is no pursuit underway, despite multiple media reports. A Facebook and Twitter account linked to Williams posted several comments and videos hours after the shooting. The accounts have since been suspended.

Williams also worked at Raycom-owned station WTOC-TV in Savannah, GA. NBC12 is owned by Raycom Media."

His names are all over the news. He went by Bryce Williams and Vester Flanagan. I think Williams was a professional name used for TV.

I won't link it but his filming of the shooting is still up on YouTube. Very horrific!

 

[gwynne]

I don't see why not?

Sometimes it may be inacurate, sometimes there might be multiple names?
At this point one "seems" a little more unusual. The second? I'd bet dollars to donuts there is more than one person around with that name.

Hope they catch him soon. He appears to have quite an evil agenda.

I can't believe he wore a Go pro and filmed it! Really sick.

Many reporters use stage names. Not unusual at all.

But wow. This guy is pure evil.

I just watched it HORRIBLE. They had said earlier that they thought the camera guy was the main victim because it apperared he was shot first. That video it was clear she was the main target being shot first.

 

[Kalliope]

People are actually watching the live murder of other human beings?

 

[Kitty 34]

Absolutely sickening.

 

[MickeySP]

thank you youtube - gone People don't need to watch that

 

[Jennasis]

I hope the third victim pulls through surgery ok.

I will admit I did watch it. Now I wish I hadn't.

 

[Mizzoufan]

They are saying that the killer has killed himself.

From the video he posted it looks like he paused after raising the gun and then moved behind the cameraman before shooting. Maybe he wanted to make sure she saw him or he wanted the cameraman to catch the shooting.
