— A TV reporter and cameraman were shot to death during a live
television interview Wednesday by a gunman who recorded himself carrying
out the killings and posted the video on social media after fleeing the
scene. Authorities identified the suspect as a
fellow journalist who had been fired from the station earlier this year.
A man believed to be the gunman later crashed a vehicle after fleeing a
traffic stop, and pursuing troopers found him suffering from a gunshot
wound.
The shooter has been identified as Bryce Williams, real name Vester Lee Flanagan II, a former reporter at WDBJ He was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, state police said. The shots rang out on-air as reporter
Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were presenting a local tourism
story. Viewers saw her scream and run, and she could be heard saying "Oh
my God," as she fell. Ward fell, too, and the camera he had been
holding on his shoulder captured a fleeting image of the suspect holding
a handgun. WDBJ quickly switched back to the anchor at
the station, her eyes large and jaw dropping as she said, "OK, not sure
what happened there." The station later went live again, reporting on
their own station and staff as the story developed. The suspect was identified as Vester Lee
Flanagan II, 41, of Roanoke, by the Augusta County Sheriff's Office.
Flanagan appeared on WDBJ as Bryce Williams. Jeffrey Marks, WDBJ's president and general
manager, said Flanagan had to be escorted by police out of the station
when he was fired. Marks described him as "an unhappy man" and
"difficult to work with," always "looking out for people to say things
he could take offense to." "Eventually after many incidents of his anger ... we dismissed him. He did not take that well," Marks explained. Video posted hours after the shooting on
Bryce Williams' Twitter account and Facebook page showed an outstretched
arm holding the handgun and firing repeatedly at Parker as she tried to
run away. The shooter appeared to walk up to the
victims and stand a few feet away from them while holding the weapon.
The three, in the midst of a live TV interview, do not seem to notice
the gunman, who doesn't start shooting until Ward points the camera at
Parker and her interview subject, Vicki Gardner, who was in stable
condition after surgery for her wounds. Parker is heard screaming and is seen
running away as shots are fired. Roughly 15 shots can be heard,
including several that were fired after the video goes dark. Tweets posted on Williams' Twitter account
Wednesday described workplace conflicts with both victims. They say
Williams filed complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission against Parker, and that Ward had reported Williams to human
resources. Marks said Williams alleged that other
employees made racially tinged comments to him, but said his EEOC claim
was dismissed and none of his allegations could be corroborated. "We think they were fabricated," Marks said. ABC News reported on its website that the
network received a 23-page fax from someone claiming to be Williams. The
network said the fax was turned over to authorities, and did not
elaborate on its contents. Both the victims were romantically involved
with other employees at the station, according to Parker's boyfriend,
WDBJ anchor Chris Hurst. He wrote online that they hadn't shared their
relationship publicly but "were very much in love." He said they had
just moved in together and wanted to get married. "I am numb," he said. The shooting happened around 6:45 a.m. at
Bridgewater Plaza in Franklin County, as Parker interviewed Gardner
about the upcoming 50th anniversary festivities for Smith Mountain Lake,
a local tourism destination. Ward, 27, graduated from Virginia Tech
University and was engaged to a producer at the station, Melissa Ott,
said WDBJ spokesman Mike Morgan. "Adam was our go-to guy. He pretty much was
available to do anything that we asked," Morgan said. "He did live
shots during our morning show for several years."
Adam Ward Parker had just turned 24 and had joined
the station as an intern after attending James Madison University, where
she was the editor of the school's newspaper, The Breeze. According to
her Facebook page, Parker spent most of her life outside Martinsville,
Virginia. She was an avid kayaker and attended community theater events
in her spare time. The station is based in Roanoke, Virginia,
and serves the southwest and central part of the state. The shootings
happened at a mall just off Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta, about 25
miles southeast of Roanoke. ___ Ramsey reported from Charleston, West Virginia; Drew reported from Hardy, Virginia.
