    When I saw the title I thought it was going to be reporters somewhere in the middle east or near a conflict of some sort, but no a local representative talking about bringing tourism to the area, just crazy. Poor people and families RIP

    I think you can make out possibly the shooters legs as the camera goes down?
    Probably a jilted ex boyfriend or someone with a really bad grudge on the TV station?
    Bizarre.

    Would love to hope this would change things. It won't. The situation in the US will continue to deteriote until the only way people can interact with each other will be by screaming at one another from heavily armed and armoured tanks.

    I'm guessing the other person that died was the camera man?

    It's not graphic but it's horrible hearing and seeing the absolute fear from the journalist in their last few seconds.

    Sandy hook was supposed to be the major turning point all that happend then was shops screamed a ban was coming and caused a massive upsurge in sales of semi auto rifles ,hicapcity magazines and ammo.
    Ban never came and more guns got sold to the massively paronoid delusional public

    Yeah the cameraman and the interviewer. Why is it that you just wouldn't see this kind of stuff in another western developed nation?

    Queue the NRA saying if the cameraman and reporter had guns on them it wouldn't have happened.

    RIP, hopefully something will be done about the gun laws.

    It says that the cameraman that was shot dead was 27 and a graduate from Virginia Tech. That was the scene of a mass shooting spree in 2007 so it would be likely that he was a student there at the time too.

    The US really needs to have a serious bout of inward inspection and debate about their gun laws.

    They need their guns taken off them until they can own them and use them in line with other normal rational western countries.

    Probably more a "WTF" at that time. One of the Irish papers put the video up on facebook before it was revealed that anyone had died, and to me it just looked like someone was shooting and everyone legged it.

    Hearing they'd died makes the video more chilling because it's obvious the cameraman has been hit while the interviewer is still OK. He must have shot her a few seconds later :(

    Chances are the studio were still recording the feed even after they'd cut away so hopefully that will be some assistance to the police.

    If you're lining up to shoot a cameraman of all people, and during a live broadcast too, then you really don't care about being caught.

    probably was 7 seconds behind to be honest, took them a couple to work out what was happening.

    anything on the woman who was being interviewed, was she left untouched?
