“Sounds like “he killed himself” first...”

Yeah, that’s an option too. Let’s see how the #BLM folks spin this one.

Report: Shooter shot himself.

Where did you hear/read this?

Police Scanner called off search for perp and vehicle about 5 minutes ago. No reason given.

He uploaded it to Facebook and has been tweeting the whole time, but both accounts have now been suspended.

Saw the video on Twitter. You see him shoot her - POV - like a first person shooter. He fired 2 or 3 times and she ran away. Very fast. I think he stopped paying attention to camera. Because you don't see him shoot the others. His tweets were a combination of earl pics. He posted that a birthday cake in one of the pictures was wrong for a Jehovah's Witness but that mommy was good mostly. Tweet that stuck out was "Allison made Racist comments??" May not be exact quote. Something else like --- He hired her after 1hr. I am regurgitating quickly what I remember seeing. Of course I was too thunderstruck to take a screen shot.

Hopefully someone did.

He posted a vid showing the actual shooting. I saw it.

He posted two vids.

Stalking up first, and then shooting.

I saw it....he was looking for sensationalism....creating his own reality moment.

You can bet more like this will follow in the black community for sure.

I am getting the gay,black,victim vibe with this POS shooter.

Yep. There may have indeed been some unwanted sexual advances, as some early posts in this thread hinted. Just not quite the way it was first imagined.

They should take it down. Besides the horror for the victim's loved ones....why give the shooter what he wants?

He sure was. He wanted revenge and then wanted everyone to know he got it. He was dissed no doubt...

That’s right. The other Vester Flanagan may be his father.

Or not. I just put it out there in case.

Does she know the shooter is black yet? Once that becomes common knowledge watch this story quickly disappear.
