http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wdb ... st-n416221The video is truly disturbing. The crew was doing a puff piece about a local theme park so I doubt this was motivated by anything but insanity. Let's see how long we can discuss this tragedy without shrill screeching about gun laws from either side.
Rest in peace.

Appears to be a former reporter who did it and I saw some report that he may have shot himself as well. Not sure what the motivation was, but I saw something that said the shooter never overlapped with the reporter employement-wise, so they don't appear to have any direct connection that would lead to this, unless the cameraman was the target. Pretty terrible incident.

Saw an article stating a local abc news company received a fax with 25 pages of a rant. But I dont see that article anymore so its probably false.
Prayers for the two victims.

The shooter is dead, apparently at his own hand. The only upside is that saved the taxpayers a bundle in court cost etc.
