   A former reporter who was named as the suspect in an on-air TV   
   shooting this morning has died from a self-inflicted gunshot   
   wound, authorities said today.   
      
   Vester Lee Flanagan, who was known professionally as Bryce   
   Williams, died at a Fairfax, Virginia, hospital at about 1:30   
   p.m., about seven hours after he allegedly shot two of his   
   former colleagues.   
      
   The Virginia State Police reported that they spotted his vehicle   
   at 11:30 a.m. and tried to pull him over, but he sped away   
   before his car "ran off the road and crashed."   
      
   When troopers approached the vehicle, they "found the male   
   driver suffering from a gunshot wound," and he was transported   
   to a nearby hospital, state police said in a Facebook post.

   What We Know About Suspect Vester Lee Flanagan in Virginia On-   
   Air Shooting   
   Meanwhile, sometime between Tuesday night and this morning, ABC   
   News received a fax from someone claiming to be Bryce Williams.   
   It is a lengthy document: 23 pages. ABC News has turned it over   
   to authorities.   
      
   Alison Parker, 24, and Adam Ward, 27, were killed in the field   
   during a live news segment in Moneta, Virginia, according to   
   their station, WDBJ-TV, a CBS affiliate serving the Roanoke-   
   Lynchburg television market.   
      
   A third person, Vicki Gardner, whom Parker was interviewing when   
   she was injured in the shooting, is out of surgery and in stable   
   condition, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital said.   
      
   WDBJ president and general manager Jeffrey A. Marks confirmed   
   that Williams used to work at the station but was dismissed two   
   years ago. Marks described him as "an unhappy man" who was   
   dismissed after he "quickly became known for a reputation for   
   being difficult to work with."   
      
   Marks said Williams was "looking out for people to say things   
   that he would take offense too."   
      
   The shooting was reported at 6:45 a.m.   
      
   Franklin County school officials said three schools were on   
   lockdown in the area of the shooting and that police officers   
   were offering additional security.

   The shooting itself took place at Bridgewater Plaza, a   
   recreational facility with shops, restaurants, a mini golf   
   course and boat rentals, where Parker and Ward were reporting on   
   the 50th anniversary of Smith Mountain Lake.   
      
   Marks, the station president, went on the air this morning   
   confirming the two deaths and noting that both victims were in   
   relationships with other staffers at the station. Chris Hurst,   
   who was dating Parker, posted tributes on his Twitter feed:

   Marks said it was his "very very sad duty" to report their   
   deaths, and noted that the shooting is under investigation. "We   
   have other members of the team with us today holding back tears,   
   frankly," Marks said.   
      
   He said Parker was a graduate of James Madison University in   
   Harrisonburg, Virginia, while Ward was a graduate of Virginia   
   Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.   
      
   Marks and the anchors confirmed on air that Ward's fiancee was a   
   morning producer at the station who was celebrating her last day   
   at work today before starting a new job. Parker reportedly   
   brought in balloons as part of the celebration before going out   
   for the fatal live report.   
      
   Jay Webb, the news director at ABC affiliate station WHSV-TV in   
   Harrisonburg (about two hours away) who had previously worked at   
   WDBJ for several years, said he knew both victims.   
   "Unthinkable," he told ABC News this morning, adding that he was   
   especially close to Ward. "It’s a very hard time in our newsroom   
   here this morning, as it is, I’m sure, across newsrooms across   
   the country this morning."

   He said he also knew Parker because she recently interned at his   
   station before getting the job at WDBJ, which is owned by Schurz   
   Communications of South Bend, Indiana.   
      
   "Alison was vibrant," he said. "Both extremely good people, will   
   be missed."
