Virginia Gov: Police give chase to on-air shooting suspect

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe says police are chasing the suspect in a fatal on-air shooting, and his arrest is imminent.

McAuliffe says on a radio show on WTOP that the suspect is believed to be a disgruntled employee of WDBJ-TV. He says police are pursuing the suspect on Interstate 64.

McAuliffe made the remarks during an appearance on the radio station’s regular “Ask the Governor” show on Wednesday morning. Hours earlier, a reporter and a cameraman were killed on air as they worked at a shopping center in Moneta, in central Virginia.

McAuliffe says that law enforcement personnel have a photo of the suspect and that he was known to the victims.
