Suspected gunman posts video of Virginia news crew shooting

http://mashable.com/2015/08/26/virginia-news-shooting-video/

        The man suspected of shooting two journalists during a
        live TV report in Virginia also took his own chilling video of
        the murders and posted it to Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday
        morning.  Vester Flanagan, who goes by "Bryce Williams" on
        Twitter and Facebook, sent five tweets more than four hours
        after Alison Park, 24, and Adam Ward, 27, were shot dead during
        the report for WDBJ7, the local CBS affiliate. One tweet
        directed people to view the video on Facebook. Another contained
        the video itself.  The video is shot from the gunman's
        perspective, almost as if it were a first-person-shooter video
        game. In it, a man now all but confirmed to be Flanagan walks up
        to the reporter's live shot and aims his black handgun at Parker
        while she interviews a woman, who has been identified as Vicki
        Gardner, executive director of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional
        Chamber of Commerce.

The gunman shot himself and is now dead. This is all extremely disturbing
on so many levels.
