Two US journalists shot dead on-air: Here's how the tragic event unfolded

A TV reporter and cameraman were shot to death during a live television interview on Wednesday - 24-year-old Alison Parker and 27-year-old Adam Ward. The gunman, quickly identified, recorded himself carrying out the killings and posted the video on social media after fleeing the scene. The gunman, Vester Lee Flanagan, 41, also known as Bryce Williams, later fatally shot himself when police caught up with his getaway car. The conflict described by Dennison in many ways echoed another, in 2000, when Flanagan was fired from a north Florida television station in 2000 after threatening fellow employees, a former supervisor said.
