[Lank]

Looks like the lady got hit once before fleeing. Seriously, WTF is wrong with some people

Jesus. That's awful.

Who was the reporter interviewing? Local politician?

 

[GaryO]

I expected it to be in the 'hood. The poor anchor looked like she was in shock.

 

[jtnf]

Doesn't look snackbar.

 

[bigblue]

WTF

 

[Mrichards6151]

Looks like the camera guy was hit with the first shot, the camera starts falling immediately. The second shot looks like it got the reporter. Terrible. The look on the anchor's face says it all.

I dont think carrying would have saved any of them .

This is very sick and my stomache is in knots.. jeez what rock did this weirdo crawl out from under. I hope they find him and he gets the death sentence

 

[ColdDayInHell]

you can see drops of blood falling in front of the camera at the end. wtf over.

 

[RadiCS]

Jesus... WTF is wrong with people??

 

[dogdoctor]

That is so f'd up...a clean broadcast feed can be found here.

Edit: well that came down quickly.

 

[Caveman]

WTF!?!? Seriously I thought this was going to be in the projects or something. Not good for trying to bring down the level of witch hunting anti-gun crazy.

[robjax]

see, so I could support the death penalty for a case such as this. Seems they have positive id of the shooter. Yeah...death penalty.

 

[JCV]

wow.......
rest in peace

This shooter didn't seem to care as much about the interviewee as he did about the news crew.

Just unbelievable - reporter and cameraman doing a fluff shoot end up dead. RIP

Makes me wonder if they chose the wrong spot to film their piece and inadvertently captured something they shouldn't have. Or someone at least thought they did. That's pretty brazen: Can't wait to read the back story on this.

Guy wants to make a name for himself? Purposely allows the camera to film him?

I was thinking that maybe they did that in a previous piece, or maybe they painted the shooter (or his buddies) in an unfavorable or incriminating light somehow. Hopefully the story comes out at some point, if there is one.

It's being reported that the reporter and cameraman were engaged. I'm guessing jealous ex-boyfriend.

I wouldn't call that purposefully allowing the camera to film him.

Not for nothing but the shooter doesn't quite look the part. More likely hired "help" if you know what I mean.

If that were the case I would have expected an emotional argument to precede the shooting as well.

 

[MAGG]

I am not going to watch the video because I do not need to have that stuck in my head but wtf...I do not get people...may they rest in peace and may the shooter be caught and drawn and quartered

 

[Catdaddy]

Very sad, prayers to their families.

Wonder what Obama will say about this one
