    Seriously, wtf? While I hope they find the douche and throw them off a cliff this whole incident requires some explanation.

    Just sad. Even worse is that the camerama's finance was in the control room to see it happen.

    I'm getting this on another forum: The killer's name is Bryce Williams and he video recorded the murders and posted them in two parts on Twitter. Twitter has now suspended his Twitter account.

    The killer was a black reporter named Bryce Williams (aka Vester Flanagan).

    Lots of detail at another reporter's Twitter account...

    FOX News is reporting the murderer killed himself.

    The radio station I'm listening to is saying that it appears the murderer had approached Alison Parker's boyfriend and when the boyfriend declined a gay proposition the boyfriend also made a complaint to the TV station's HR department about sexual harassment. The murderer countered with an unsupported claim that Parker had said something racist to him.

    Looks like Parker was killed because she was 'in the way' of the murderer's obsession for her boyfriend.

    The EEOC confirms they dismissed the racism complaint and the TV station is confirming the sexual harassment complaint now that the murderer is dead and has no right to privacy.

    The reporter was his target, you can hear him say 'Bitch' before he killed her. 8O

    I mean, it's better than FedEx Flight 705 where a disgruntled employee tried to hijack an airplane, but damn people.
