    That's crazy.

    The face on your one when it cuts back to the studio says it all.

    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.

    RIP.

    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.

    That footage is chilling.


    From what I could tell, they were reporting on something pretty innocuous, why on earth did that lunatic target them?

    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
