Finished the cameraman, then went after and killed the reporter. Horrible.

When will America get that given that a certain proportion of people become irrationally angry from time to time, allowing people generally to own guns is a bad idea.

They are actually debating whether to ban private individuals from owning flamethrowers at the moment.

Exactly just look at the number of Daily Mail threads where people have completely lost it, road rage, cyclist rage etc... Non end up in fatal shootings because luckily your average joe with anger isn't armed.

Looks like Michael Myers mask from Halloween

I thought it was a mask too.

Twitter's on the case.

Just being reported by CNN that the lady being interviewed was also shot, in the back by the gunman, and is currently in emergency surgery

ETA: The ATF know the shooters identity, as he was caught on CCTV from his licence plate.

Lovely to see the Independent and the BBC both failing in their duty.

I don't want to watch it, but you cover the story as live on air, so where is the damn footage?

[s3fella]

BBC saying a disgruntled former employee, but doesn't say whether it is ex employee of TV station of location.

[Mr Trophy]

Absolutely horrendous.

RIP.

as if Obama's gun law intention was not clear enough to everyone except those that want to own and wield guns, this it.

it appears to me that there is a real opportunity to challenge the limits of democratic rights in America - sadly I can't see it happening anytime soon, less so if a republican gets in next time.

if I was Obama I would just be so saddened and frustrated, ok you won't ever stop the crazed idiots but if you stopped people from owning guns provisionally before they became crazed i'm sure that would help.

Madness and death seems to be the norm these days.

The gunman.

That looks like he is wearing a ballistic vest. Think he may do something else today.

[Digger]

I hope they evacuated their TV HQ swiftly.

They will still fight against any control, not just the NRA but also the loonies of the GOA.
