   A video appearing to show the shooting of two journalists during   
   a live TV broadcast has been posted to online social media   
   accounts, seemingly by the shooter himself.   
      
   Police later confirmed the gunman, named as 41-year-old Vester   
   Lee Flanagan, had died after shooting himself.   
      
   The graphic video showing the deaths of Alison Parker and Adam   
   Ward was posted to Facebook and Twitter accounts, which have   
   both since been suspended.   
      
   The footage shows a gun in the filmer's hand, pointing at Ms   
   Parker and then opening fire.   
      
   The Twitter account used to post the video also included the   
   comments: "I filmed the shooting see Facebook", "Adam went to   
   [human resources] on me after working with me one time!!!" and   
   "Alison made racist comments. EEOC report filed. They hired her   
   after that???"   
      
   The shooting occurred at about 6.45am EDT (10.45am GMT) during   
   an interview being broadcast live from Bridgewater Plaza, a   
   Virginia shopping plaza.   
      
   Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe said in interview on   
   Washington radio station WTOP that Flanagan was a disgruntled   
   current or former station employee.   
      
   ABC News said it had received a 23-page fax from someone who   
   identified himself by the name Bryce Williams, reported to be an   
   alias used by Flanagan at WDBJ.   
      
   WDBJ's general manager, Jeff Marks, said he wasn't aware of any   
   prior threat to the station. "Every now and then you get a crazy   
   email or something and we'll look into it. Nothing of this   
   nature than any of us could recall."
