Vester Lee Flanagan, according to police, is believed to be driving a 2009 gray Mustang. Authorities believe Vester Lee is still in the Virginia are. Flanagan was a reporter who was also known as Bryce Williams. The Facebook account of Bryce is still live as of this writing, while his Twitter account has been suspended. Williams posted live video of the shooting a short time ago, according to CNN. (Update: The Facebook page has been closed.)
The heart-pounding video on Bryce’s Facebook page — be warned it’s very graphic — shows just how scarily close Williams was to Parker and Adam as he shoots the duo.

According to Adweek , Bryce was welcomed to the station back in 2012. He is a 41-year-old man who came from California and worked in Tallahassee, Florida, where he actually sued that station for racial discrimination.
The Roanoke CBS-affiliate this week announced the addition of Bryce Williams.
Other photos show the former WDBJ employee conducting interviews, such as when VCDL President Philip Van Cleave spoke to Bryce , as reported by Monachus Lex .
“Reporter Bryce Williams wanted to go live from the picnic but was prevented by the inclement weather so he had to rush back to the studio to edit his footage for the 6:00 news and unfortunately for fans could not stay to have a hamburger with the crowd.”
According to the sheriff’s office, police initially stopped short of calling him a suspect, although plenty of damning evidence appears online as he apparently keeps tweeting. Update: Police are now calling Bryce a suspect.
Alison made racist comments, Williams claims on the cached Twitter accounts from Vester, appearing on @bryce_williams7.
Vester Lee Flanagan posted a video of the shooting on his own Facebook account. He also tweeted that Alison allegedly made racial comments about him. Prior to Bryce posting the horrific Facebook video, in which it appears Williams was wearing some sort of GoPro camera on his head, he posted head shots of himself on August 20, from his modeling days.
Headshot used for getting acting/modeling gigs way back when lol. And, wasn’t I a cute baby? ?
The questions arise as to how Bryce knew the news crew would be there at that exact time and whether or not he still had access to his work schedules although he was fired.
Next, pundits expect Williams to either face police directly in a shootout or commit “suicide by police.” The Inquisitr will continue to update this tragic story as more information becomes available.
