Anyone know the condition of the other lady who was being interviewed? Hopefully she didn't get hit during that chaos.

Shooter didn't really "mag dump", sounded like aimed fire.  That's some cold shit right there.  If it was personal maybe he let the interviewee alone.  

She's probably got family who watched that live, they must be completely freaking out right now.

Yeah, that was my face too.  What the actual fuck is wrong with this country?  We need to reopen the insane asylums and start putting people in them again.

On the WSET link that I posted in the OP, there is a "high-priority incident on Route 122 in the vicinity of Dovetail Road near Bridgewater Plaza. Both north and south through lanes are closed." Don't know if that's related to the shooting or not but, maybe.

Sad to hear this. Hope the bastard ends up deaded.





Can't wait for McDouchenozzle, Warner, and Timmay to push for AWB/mag limits here in Va because of this. (Even if no AW were used).


 


ETA: Although I live 45 mins-1hr away, wonder if this is why I saw a State Trooper and BC sheriff hauling ass down 460 towards Bedford after I dropped my son off at his babysitters.

A TV news reporter and cameraman were killed Wednesday morning in a shooting captured in a live broadcast, and gunman remains at large, police said.

The scene of sudden shock and horror at a pedestrian plaza in Moneta, Va. was captured during a routine news story on WBDJ, a station in Roanake.

In the video, reporter Alison Parker is interviewing a woman at Bridgewater Plaza about tourism in the area. As they talk, about seven shots ring out, as Parker and the woman scream and take cover.

Makes me sick.  I am thinking I shouldn't have watched that video.  

This is why I carry.  There are mentally ill people out there that have no hesitation to commit violence.  I am just about certainly never going to encounter one... but they do exist.  

So very sad.  I wish people would stop killing each other.

I don't think it was to each other. I think it was to others they worked with from my understanding. I may be wrong.

There have been reports of a guy going around impersonating a police officer recently.  His description seems accurate to the screen grab from the shooting.  http://www.thefranklinnewspost.com/news/deputies-search-for-police-impersonator/article_0055ff64-4b5a-11e5-ad6b-6771ad7d10cb.html
