The man who was been accused of shooting and killing a news reporter and photographer on Wednesday morning posted videos on social media of himself committing the heinous act hours after the double-murder.
Police have announced that the suspect is Vester Flanagan, a former employee of WDBJ in Virginia who worked for roughly a year as a reporter with the station under the name Bryce Williams. It appears Flanagan had personal issues with the victims, 24-year old Alison Parker and 27-year-old Adam Ward, who were former coworkers of his.

Flanagan shared first-person videos of himself shooting Parker and Ward on his Twitter and Facebook pages. His Twitter account was suspended shortly after he shared the videos. We refused to watch any of them for obvious reasons and would not recommend that anyone search for them.
UPDATE: Flanagan reportedly shot himself when confronted by authorities and was in critical condition. He had also sued WDBJ in the past for alleged racism.
