Apparently his name is Vester Flanagan, on-air he went by Bryce Williams. Here he is with one of the victims.

He seems to be tweeting right now: https://twitter.com/bryce_williams7
People are saying that he legit just posted a video from his POV of the shooting. Can't confirm as I'm not in the mood to watch that sort of shit, but check that Twitter feed if interested.
EDIT: I caved. The video is real. Holy shit.
JFC. This is sick. ^^^^^^^^
I watched that video before twitter shut it down. Holy fuck is that bad.
Very Weissman like IMO, at least at some point back in the day.Quote:

BTW, since clicking on this thread I've checked all my news feeds & this does appear to be real. Pretty sad.
Such a talent.
Twitter account suspended. Unreal
Video removed from OP, Here is the CNN report with original video: http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/26/us/vir...dbj/index.html
I'm sure someone has taken screenshots of the tweets and saved the video. Will probably hit Liveleak soon.Quote:

The video was weird. He walks up to them and points his gun at the reporter. It looks like a first person shooter. Then he hesitates and puts the gun away. Nobody around him notices any of this. He sort of looks to the side, then points the gun at her again and starts shooting. You see her hit the ground screaming, then he fumbles the phone and the video ends.

My family has a lake house on Smith Mountain Lake. Spent many a summer night playing that miniature golf course and in the nearby arcade.
It's a great area to be on the run as it's remote as fuck; that plaza is the only semblance of civilization for a considerable distance.
What kind of name is Vester?Quote:
@WHSVnews
We now have a "no n-words allowed" policy at the station.
Why are "on air talent" allowed to use fake names?
