I've seen him reported as a black guy and a white guy. In his picture on twitter, he resembles the guy who played "Monk".

Good God.

This dude is posting on his twitter and Facebook video of him walking up and murdering the journalist. Now going off on why he killed them.

What a nutjob.

It's been reported that he, Vester, was replaced by the woman he killed. And, that her Fiance is the anchor of the news station.

So they were in pursuit, and now it seems they are no longer in pursuit? Did they lose him?

Apparently the male journalist went to HR and that's why he was shot.

The female reporter said something he found racist at one point, so clearly he thought she needed to be murdered.

Yeah, you're right. I wasn't sure.

From CNN:

"Flanagan worked at WDBJ as a reporter for about a year using the on-air name, Bryce Williams, according to a former WDBJ employee.

Flanagan was fired from the station, though the reason was not made public, the ex-employee said."

Just now heard that on the news. Anybody on here looked up his fb before it got locked down?

#BREAKING Reports: Alleged #WDBJ shooter Vester Flanagan has shot himself

Just scanning Twitter. It looked legitimate but maybe not since nobody else reported??

He killed people so he could show the world. Please don't look up the footage and embolden this type of behavior.

Word from the wise. Please avoid the video from the shooter's perspective. This was a deranged man who plotted an execution with his GoPro. You do no want to go down that lane.

Can I request that we dont post photos of the killer? RIP to the two souls who were lost today
Reporter Alison Parker (24), Cameraman Adam Ward (27
