The disgruntled former news reporter who shot dead two of his ex-coworkers during a live TV segment this morning has died after committing suicide.

Viewers of WDBJ, a small CBS affiliate in Moneta, Virginia, watched in horror this morning as Vester Lee Flanagan II shot dead 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, on live TV as the two were filming a light-hearted segment at 6:45am.

After carrying out the shocking on-air execution, Ward rented a car at the airport and then started driving east.

Police finally cornered Flanagan just before noon, about three hours northeast, in Fauquier County, Virginia, but he refused to stop and sped away from troopers.

Flanagan then crashed the car off the road and when police surrounded the vehicle, they found him suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He later passed away at a hospital in Northern Virginia.

Vester Flanagan Shot Himself: In Critical Condition After Police Confrontation

During his rampage, the gunman, dressed in all black, approached Alison, Adam, and Vicki from behind as they were broadcasting live on WDBJ7. In the graphic video, which you can watch above at your own discretion, Alison is interviewing Vicki, the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, as Adam holds the camera. Suddenly, at least 8 gunshots ring out, and you see both Alison and Vicki try to escape as the camera slowly hits the floor.

One very eerie screen shot from the video revealed a blurry image of the shooter, wearing a black hoodie and pointing his gun directly at Adam and the camera as they both lay on the floor. It’s very chilling to watch and again we only advise you viewing the video at your own discretion.
