van sant. what we do know now, according to authorities, vester flanagan carried out, which is unspeakable, approaching alison parker and adam ward at 6:45 eastern time, opening fire on both of them, killing them there and seriously injuring another individual, and then, clint, taking to social media. you are a profiler, you ve seen all types of individuals and things that we cannot conceive here, but this person seems to, if these accounts are accurate, played this out in the most public of ways, and that was his desire. well, that was not only his desire, apparently, tamron, but that s his background. this is someone who has been an on-air reporter. i ve read one account that said he was with this same television station for a year and then had been fired from that station, hence, the governor s
there are a number of reports indicating that the shooter, vef vester flanagan, has shot himself. we are working, pete, to get more details from the virginia state police who have been pursuing this man for several hours right now. but, clint, this is the latest information, that the suspect has shot himself. and that information would be consistent with this type of individual and with his postings of the videos. in essence, he had this grudge, he was disgruntled, whatever his reason for this. then he commits these terrible acts. then he posts the videos to show his side of the story and then he commits suicide so that he doesn t have to have responsibility and he doesn t have to answer the questions of both the criminal justice system as well as the media, unfortunately. it seems as if he wanted again, if these allegations are
sit down, please. you were not called. i m a reporter and don t touch me, sir. you re being disruptive. i have a right to ask a question. yes, in order and turn. well, ramos escorted from the room by security, but about ten minutes later called back in and trump called on him twice, taking issues about immigration. and just a short time ago mr. trump responded to all of this on the today show. he was totally out of line last night. i was asking and being asked a question from another reporter. i would have gotten to him very quickly and stood up and started ranting and raving like a mad man and frankly, he was out of line. most people, most newspaper reports said i handled it very well. he was totally, absolutely out of line. ramos offered his reaction just moments ago. i want to have an interview with donald trump and wanted to have an interview with donald trump and few weeks ago i sent him a handwritten note with my cell phone and instead of respond
cameraman/photographer, 27-year-old adam ward, were conducting that live interview. this was actually at a water park in moneta. that s about 26 miles from roanoke, virginia. wdbj s general manager announced their deaths on air. i have a very, very sad duty to report that we have determined, through the help of the police and our own employees, that alison and adam died this morning shortly after 6:45 when the shots rang out. we do not know the motive, we do not know who the suspect or who the killer is. i just got off the phone with franklin county sheriff overton, i just got off the phone before that with the state police. they are working very diligently to track down both the motive and the person responsible for this terrible crime against two fine journalists. i cannot tell you how much they were loved. following that update from the general manager of the station, we heard from, as you just heard, the governor of the state confirmed that the individual that they ar
the cash. use caution. this is a crime scene. reporter: when firefighters arrived at the house the investigators say the $40,000 was gone and so was the family s porsche. it s unclear whether wint is the person of interest seen in this surveillance video running away from the car fire. public records show wint lived in several addresses in that area and has been arrested numerous times. overnight crime scene investigators searched the home for blood stains. sources familiar with the investigation say the fire began on the second floor in 10-year-old philip s room. all three adults were found down the hall in a separate room beaten and stabbed. our station wrc is reporting that police believe wint left the immediate d.c. area shortly after the murders took place a aweek ago. there is a $25,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest. thank you. let me bring in clint van sant
