That's horrific, the world really does possess some monsters.

Sometimes rubbernecking is bad. Wish I hadn't watched that video now

Fair play to the anchor in the studio for keeping it together!

Ashdown · Aug 26, 2015

Pretty girl, age 24, wiped out in a heartbeat.......for what ? Looks like she had to witness the murder of the cameraman first too.

Nick · Aug 26, 2015

Jesus Christ, just seen one. A bit brutal.

Have they caught them?

covmark · Aug 26, 2015

Yep, caught him. A colleague who worked for the same tv station.

Sometimes I just... wonder.

Just read.

He's not exactly shown that complaints against him were unwarranted, has he!

B-Ban-Boogie · Aug 26, 2015

Apparently had a gopro strapped to his arm and filmed the whole incident which is now on LiveLeak... (and no i am not watching it )

No doubt there will be a huge debate about gun control again..

(the youtube video is a comedian talking about Gun control not the gopro video by the way..)

Yep, it's also currently on YouTube but guess will be taken down from there quite promptly.

As he approaches he raises the gun and says bitch under his breath, but then seems to notice the camera is pointing at the view, rather than reporter, so waits until it pans back to her before opening fire.

He's been caught, but has life threatening injuries.

armybike · Aug 26, 2015

The offender actually uploaded the gopro footage to his Facebook page and an explanation that the reporter/cameraman had made racist comments to him and also reported him to human resources.

...for being a psychopath?

Covstu · Aug 26, 2015

This is shocking, world is a fucked up place.

armybike · Aug 26, 2015

For clarification, there is NO gun issue in the US!

Agreed....

armybike · Aug 26, 2015

Suspect now confirmed as dead. Can't decide if that's a good or bad thing.

bringbackrattles · Aug 26, 2015

Just shows what a strange world we live in but to be honest been living long enough not to get shocked that much anymore.But because of social media it is all over the planet in seconds.I don't watch the graphic stuff like beheadings etc as it would only make me feel like I was enjoying it and accepting of it,so I refuse to view any such stuff.

Glad you agree Wingy. I know people watch this kind of stuff but I stand firm and refuse to view it.I've been involved in dangerous incidents myself and witnessed some scary things and have put most of it to the back of my mind.But even if I hadn't I still wouldn't watch any of it why trouble your mind anyway ?

Sick Boy · Aug 26, 2015

....and to think that some people think that we should look more to America than Europe.

Otis · Aug 26, 2015

Not going to even attempt to watch that footage.

The story is enough for me.

ajsccfc · Aug 26, 2015

I've seen both videos. The broadcast one is scary enough, but when you see it from the gunman's perspective (I wouldn't recommend it) it's terrifying. He's literally stood feet away pointing his gun at the reporter for a few seconds while nobody notices, then wait for the camera to pan back to the women before beginning.

Jack Griffin · Aug 26, 2015

Just saying..

nice correlation for them that's a little math-geeky

Agreed.

It would give me images in my head that I really don't want.

ajsccfc · Aug 27, 2015

You're making the absolute right choice.

Deleted member 5849 · Aug 27, 2015

Daily Mail kindly show stills from the gunman's video, *then* the warning that some images might be disturbing.

Thanks Daily Mail:jerkit:

dutchman · Aug 27, 2015

So did the Sun and the Mirror.

The Sun even added some artwork to make the picture look more gruesome than it already was.

They added a flash to the muzzle of the gun to make it look like the exact moment of firing.

The image was definitely inappropriate to use, but wasn't manipulated and is a still from the killers point of view footage -

That link states otherwise:

"The Sun and The Daily Star used an image from the video showing an orange muzzle flash at the end of Williams' gun as he shot Parker, which many commenters online believed was photoshopped, as it was not visible when watching the video in real time."

It's also mentioned in the comments section which follows it.

Yep, when watched in real time it's not visible as it's only one frame. However, it flash is on the footage. I've just taken this screen grab from a copy of the footage on YouTube -
