    I hope they catch this fucking ball of shit and enact some frontier justice on that motherfucker. Eviscerate them. Hang them. Burn them. In that order.

    Right now all the schools are on lockdown because whomever did this hasn't been caught yet.
    Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.

    I was wondering this too. So strange and random?! Did the lady she was interviewing get away unharmed? It's almost like the two of them were specifically targeted. so freakin sad.

    ETA: got my answer: Vicki Gardner, the woman Alison was interviewing, was shot in the back. She's in surgery right now.

    I just read somewhere they're saying the guy is a disgruntled (former?) employee. I'll try to find where I saw it.

    Found it: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...ive-tv-n416221 "Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe told local radio that the suspect is believed to be a disgruntled employee — not a terrorist — and that authorities were pursuing him."

    Alison Parker has also been dating the WDBJ7 morning anchor for 9 months. He posted on his twitter account (twitter.com/chrishurstwdbj) that they had just moved in together. She was only 24. :( So, so sad.

    Just another day in gun loving, gun toting USA.
    I saw a cnn broadcast yesterday that said the US has only 5 per cent of the world's population but we have 30 per cent of the world's mass shootings ..... it is outrageous.

    An unconfirmed report says he is being chased north on the Interstate 81 highway.

    I'm not sure if it's allowed to link to the video but it's still up on LiveLeak...

    I wonder if there were witnesses and who called 911. Was it the studio?

    CNN just had a headline of a name for the suspect but also states he went by the name of Bryce Williams. The first name is gone now.
