[ Edited ]

They were at an outdoor mall interviewing someone from the Chamber of Commerce.  It was about tourism in the area.

Does anyone know what story they were covering? Was it controversial? We have a very vocal & small segment of our population that distrusts and loathes the media. I hate to say it, but I am surprised this hasn't happened earlier here in the states.

 

CNN says they were doing a fluff piece at a waterpark.

 

America has a real problem with guns and violence and we continue to ignore it.  This makes me sick to the core.

Have they found the sh**ter?  The Huff Post has the video.  So sad, RIP.

Not that I've heard. CNN said police are interviewing the person who was being interviewed on air, as she's the best eyewitness. Poor woman - I can't even imagine.

I just got a tweet saying they suspect a former station employee. I'll post a link.

They are also now saying besides being a former employee, the shooter that the Chamber of Commerce woman was shot in the back and in surgery now. 

This is a nightmare.

Selfish person. He is miserable so he has to take others down. 

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.
