Moments before and after that shooting. Reporter we learned at that video, it is so disturbing we chose not to show it here. Vester flanagan even made his own recording of the shooting and his words reveal what many consider a twisted motivation. Reporter wdbj7 reporter Alison Parker and wdbj7 photographer adam ward never saw him coming. Their camera caught an image of the man who shot them. Police say it was a former reporter Vester Flanagan known on tv as Bryce Williams fired from the tv station two years ago. He took social media posting the video of the attack and complained about the people he just killed. They think he headed to the airport where he switched out his car for a car he rented. 4 hours later a trooper identified the vehicle on i66. Minutes later Vester Flanagan crashed and shot himself. Obvious that there was dis he was disturbed in some way, it would appear things were spiraling out of control. Reporter more evidence of thatane manifesto he fax that ma manifesto he faxed to abc, said he was the victim of discrimination at work for being a gay black man. He fired Vester Flanagan because he was difficult to work with. He was looking out for people to say things that he could take offense to. He and venchially after many venchially after many incidents eventually after many incidents we dismissed him. Reporter now, also injured in the shooting was the woman they were interviewing at the time, she was shot in the back and is in stable condition after surgery today. You mentioned, we are not showing the video but we have seen it, what struck me was how calmly he walked up, you see him pointing the gun and he puts it down, looks like he was waiting for the camera to pan over to the reporter and the woman she was interviewing before he shot her so it would be captured on live tv. Reporter aside from the shooting itself, that was maybe the most chilling part of the video. You hear him mumble a word and he took his time before the shooting started. You know, we watch a lot of videos that are tough to watch and make tough decisions, this was one of the toughest to watch. It was interesting, he was standing right there for maybe 15, 20 seconds and they never noticed him, never looked over. Reporter thats right. They were clearly oblivious to it. I have been out on the field, when you are in that zone and interviewing somebody, that is what you are focused on, especially in an area we are hearing that was not an area where they felt they should be on guard. 15 shots in 10 seconds, two people dead. Thank you. The shooter Vester Flanagan has a social media history. And posted updates throughout the shooting the morning. We found his page that details a work history in and out of television. Incrowd florida and including florida and georgia and pg e in san jose and bank of america in San Francisco. On his Facebook Page he posted several videos of his time as a reporter. Including this one here. He was at a gun range. The street where Vester Flanagan used to live was anything but quiet today. That is where we find ktvus Noelle Walker, you have been talking to stunned neighbors out there today. Reporter yeah. The media is here. In fact, there is activity behind me. Wonder figure the family has come home. The family owns several homes here on this street. They are well known and well liked but few people knew there was a son until today. Reporter this middle class neighborhood woke up stunned. Sad all over. You know . Just really, really, really sad. Reporter Vester Flanagan the man who shot and killed a reporter and photographer in virginia used to live here in this house. He lives here now and still gets mail for Vester Flanagan. For a person like that, you know, to be used to live here, disgrace. Disgrace. He is a soft spoken person. Reporter he was his neighbor for three years. Shocked to hear Vester Flanagan seemed to have anger issues, ready to explode. I didnt say any ang i didnt see any anger issues. Reporter he grew up in this home in oakland. This is totally out of his character. Reporter a neighborhood remembers a very different person than the one he saw on the news today. Never seen it coming. You couldnt tell me that he did that. I cant believe it. I will never believe it but it happened. Reporter he got a radio tv degree in 1993. He interned and worked at cbs station kpix. A former anger issued this statement saying he was just a young eager kid out of school and like so many others interns he just wanted to be on tv and do a good job. Well now he is on tv but in the worse possible way, my condolences condolences to all effected by this tragedy. No one answers the door at the home, his father was a Football Player at Humboldt State and a former green bay packer, a fixture in the neighborhood. Like the grandfather of the block. A huge security blanket for us. Reporter now his family is grieving too. If i see him i will just go give him a big hug. That was Noelle Walker reporting. This afternoon the family released a statement saying it is with heavy hearts and deep sadness we express our condolences condolences to the families of Alison Parker and adam ward and we are praying for the recovery of vikki gardener. Words caninous express the hurt we feel for the victims. The reporter and photographer were just starting their careers, Alison Parker and adam ward worked as a team at the cbs station wdbj7 in virginia. They grew up in virginia. Adam the two were the kindest and nicest people at the station. They had Something Else in common, they were involved with coworkers. Parker with the anchor man. They just moved in together. Wanted to get married and ward was engaged to a producer. Today was scheduled to be her last day at the station. In an interview, Alison Parkers father said my grief is unbearable. I dont know if there is anybody unthis world or another father who could be more proud of their daughter. He said i cant watch any news. All it would do is rip out my heart further than it already is. When the shooting happened most people found out on social media and played a role with how fast the gunman spread his message. Coming up we talk about how social media changes the way criminals behave. We posted more photos on the ktvu Facebook Page. You can send condolences condolences there as well. Now to other news.

Yesterday you saw it was a supervisor and police chief that was standing with the captain and an officer, the officer was crucial in finding the suspects responsible for the crimes. Two residents shot a tourist from thailand while robbing him of his camera. We are told the officer staked his car out anticipating they would use the bridge to go to oakland and that is how they were able to be arrested. They say that is a robbery and aggravated assault. Not a property crime. They admit a lot of property crimes are on the rise in the area and it is why they are working with different agencies to make sure that that issue is something that is reduced and they say they are working with the District Attorneys Office to make sure that violent and repeat offenders have punishments that fit their crime. They dont want to give people the impression they can come here and commit the crimes and get away with it. Our message is to anybody thinking of doing this, dont do it. This is what is going to happen, we will have an officer waiting for you somewhere. We will have the team and the crime lab and they will find you. San francisco is a safe city. There is a reason why we are in the top 10 tourist degs ainations in the world. Come designations in the world. Come see San Francisco. Experience it for yourself.
