   HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -   
   The man suspected of shooting and killing two television   
   journalists in Roanoke, Va. Wednesday morning shot himself about   
   five hours later during a police chase and was later pronounced   
   dead at a hospital.   
      
   Authorities said the suspected gunman, Vester L. Flanagan,   
   worked at WDBJ under the on-air name of Bryce Williams and was   
   described by several people as a disgruntled employee at the   
   station.   
      
   Dan Dennison, senior communications director for the Hawaii   
   Department of Land and Natural Resources, was the news director   
   of the station from 2011 to 2013 and also hired and fired   
   Flanagan during his tenure. In a live interview on Hawaii News   
   Now Sunrise, he said Flanagan, who was hired in 2012, was   
   terminated in 2013, largely for performance issues.   
      
   “He had a level of a long series of complaints against coworkers   
   nearly from the beginning of employment at the TV station,”   
   Dennison said. “That really had nothing to do with his   
   termination, and after a lot of investigation both internally   
   and externally, all of these allegations were deemed to be   
   unfounded. And they were largely under along racial lines, and   
   we did a thorough investigation and could find no evidence that   
   anyone had racially discriminated against this man.”   
      
   Although Dennison said he couldn’t share complete details about   
   the incident, he added that Flanagan’s termination was one of   
   the toughest he’s ever been involved in, so much so that police   
   had to escort Flanagan out of the building because he wouldn’t   
   leave on his own free will.   
      
   The two victims -- reporter Alison Parker, 24, and photographer   
   Adam Ward, 27 – died after being shot at around 6:45 a.m. ET   
   while conducting a live interview near Roanoke.   
      
   "They were both really just great young people and it’s such a   
   tragic circumstance," Dennison said. "You just never know, when   
   you’re going to work, how a potentially unhinged or unsettled   
   person might impact your life in such a tragic way as we saw in   
   Roanoke this morning."
