she had gotten a job. he had been taken to hr by this camera guy and you see the grudge build iing but the momen of the shooting he had to follow them from the station parking lot to know where they re going for their on sight shoot or hack into a computer to find out where they were going that morning. it could have been as simple as following them to the location. he came armed and ready. as you just heard, he practiced the video shoot. how obscure is that and how damning that he practitrack pra shooting video so he could shoot the murders? it a s series of facts that have unfolded that are astounding and rarely in these cases do you get this kind of evidence, actual videotape of an execution. again, i m going to have to reiterate. it s posted under a twitter account and a facebook account of bryce williams with his photograph but you can never be certain who posts what and when.
killed, the woman they were interviewing went into surgery we are told she is recovering, she has stabilized. it s been a remarkable series of events. if that weren t remarkable enough, the story continued to evolve and there were so many developments. i want to take a moment to let you know that cnn as a network is not showing video of that live broadcast any longer. wdbj has not shown that video at all throughout the day and then there s this. throughout the day it became apparent that a disgruntled employee was being sought for questioning. this is the man they were looking for. his name is vester flanagan but he used to be called bryce williams and he was on air at wdbj. he was let go and the circumstances were not good although not public at the time. you were listening earlier to jeffrey marks who is the president and general manager of
wdbj. he has mentioned there were remarks made by vester flanagan, a.k.a. bryce williams, to the employees at wdbj but that it was a long time ago and hard to recall the tenor. he mentioned he had not seen this person. the news continued from there when tweets under the name of an account of bryce williams began to emerge suggesting that he himself had shot video of the killings again, the twitter account under a name of bryce williams was releasing this information and then came the unthinkable. a video released under the facebook account of bryce williams. we weren t sure if it was this person who posted but it was posted under the name of bryce williams and it was graphic and it was harrowing. we are not going to show this video, it is effectively a double execution.
anything you can tell us about vester flanagan who went by bryce williams, this disgruntled employee? well, we ve agreed to cooperate with the authorities and not try to do their job for them but what i can tell you since that name is out there that this is an individual who came to work as a reporter and about two years ago, i m thinking, we had to separate him from the company. we understood he was still living in the area. occasionally he would run into people from our company. and the disturbing nature of tweets that are going out, presumab presumably in an account under his name and a video that s been posted from what appears to be the shooter s perspective and what appears to be the shooter committing the crime. this is so distressing. how much of this are you working with the police and trying to
i can tell you i will describe what i saw. it s a hand holding a gun in full frame of what is either a gopro or perhaps a cell phone and it appears the shooter was watching the live shot actually taking place. from behind the back of the cameraman. he was watching the reporter as she was interviewing the subject, they were unaware of his presence and it was probably about 20 to 30 seconds of this before finally the execution shots ring out. you can see alison running for her life. she didn t get far and the camera goes blank. twitter has suspended the account. facebook is no longer showing this video. fs up for a matter of moments. but what we are seeing seeing
