   The man whom authorities say shot himself to death after being   
   named as the suspect in the killing of two Virginia journalists   
   on live television this morning was a former reporter at WDBJ-   
   TV, where the victims worked.   
      
   WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were shot   
   and killed during a live appearance at 6:43 am in Moneta,   
   Virginia. The Augusta County Sheriff's Office confirmed they had   
   been looking for Vester Lee Flanagan II of Roanoke in relation   
   to the shooting.   
      
   Virginia State Police issued a statement saying they had pursued   
   the shooting suspect late this morning, apprehending him after   
   he crashed his car on Interstate 66 in Virginia around 11:30 a.m.   
      
   Flanagan, 41, died at 1:30 p.m. from a self-inflicted gunshot   
   wound at a local hospital, according to police.   
      
   He was known professionally as Bryce Williams and previously   
   worked at the station as a reporter.   
      
   Flanagan was an “unhappy man,” according to WDBJ general manager   
   Jeffrey Marks, who confirmed on the air that Flanagan had been   
   employed by the station.   
      
   Marks said Flanagan “quickly became known for a reputation for   
   being difficult to work with.”   
      
   He was known for “looking out for people to say things that he   
   would take offense to,” Marks added.   
      
   Flanagan was dismissed from the station two years ago, and was   
   escorted out of the building by police, Marks said.   
      
   He also filed a lawsuit against WDBJ in March 2014.   
      
   According to documents obtained by ABC News, station managers   
   told Flanagan to seek medical attention and that his behavior in   
   the workplace made coworkers feel threatened and uncomfortable.   
   The lawsuit, in which Flanagan alleged racial and sexual   
   discrimination, was dismissed in July 2014.   
      
   The station denied wrongdoing, investigated his accusations and   
   found them to have no merit, said Marci Burdick, senior vice   
   president of the station's parent company.   
      
   Burdick also said that the station had no contact with Flanagan   
   since then and did not receive any threats from him.   
      
   ABC News received a fax from a man claiming to be Bryce Williams   
   roughly two hours after the shooting, which has been turned over   
   to authorities.   
      
   The writer of the 23-page page manifesto praised the 2007   
   Virginia Tech shooter, who killed 32 people, and expressed   
   admiration for the 1999 Columbine High School killers, who   
   massacred 13, and wrote that today’s shooting was prompted by   
   the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting earlier this   
   year.   
      
   According to a LinkedIn profile under the name Bryce Williams,   
   Flanagan worked for WDBJ from March 2012 to February 2013, and   
   also spent time at television stations in North Carolina, South   
   Carolina and Florida.   
      
   Flanagan also attended San Francisco State University, according   
   to the LinkedIn page. A rep for the university said a student   
   with that name graduated from the university with a degree in   
   Radio/Television in 1995.   
      
   In March 2000, Flanagan filed a lawsuit for alleged racial   
   discrimination against WTWC-TV, the Tallahassee NBC affiliate   
   where he had also worked. It was reportedly settled in 2001.   
      
   WTWC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
