Having seen the footage of the shooting made by the shooter himself this is pretty sick

Sad and sick all the way around, heart goes out to the victims families.

On another note, it is nice to hear that the shooter has shot himself, hope he doesn't make it.

I can't believe none of them saw the guy standing 2 meters away trying to figure out why the pistol wont fire.

Condolences to the families and friends and colleagues of the victims

What struck me as especially senseless was that according to the station's manager, the people he killed were never his colleagues and were hired long after he was dismissed. So it can't even be said to be a revenge killing, just a spiteful terror attack (in the literal sense of the word).

Also on that, it sounds like the shooter is still alive (if just barely).

He's dead.

Vester L. Flanagan II, the suspect in the slayings of two WDBJ-TV journalists, died at a hospital Wednesday afternoon of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Franklin County, Virginia, Sheriff Bill Overton told reporters.

Too bad, I hoped he'd be a conscious vegetable for the rest of his life.
