Police name suspect in fatal live TV shooting
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe suspect in the fatal shooting of a television reporter and cameraman in Virginia is Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, of Roanoke, the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office says.
Law enforcement personnel were in hot pursuit, with multiple vehicles following him closely down Interstate 64 at one point, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe says.
“They’re right behind him,” he says during an appearance on WTOP-FM’s “Ask the Governor.”
Video of the shooting was later posted on the Twitter account and Facebook page of Bryce Williams, who was on the staff at WDBJ. It showed an outstretched arm holding the handgun and firing repeatedly at Parker as she tried to run away.
