This is beyond fucked up. As someone who works in television with a sports reporter for a wife, this better not turn into the next fucking thing to do.

Random angry gunman, or something to say about the news? If it was a statement, he should have gunned down some people at the cable news station (I don't know how I'd feel about that). I can't see any reason for someone to be angry at local fluff news.

Absolutely tragic.
All the reports I'm seeing are that the camera man and reporter were killed. And that was the shooter that was shown in the clip as the camera went to the ground?

Surreal. I mean, you see this in movies, but that image was the last thing that a real person saw in their lifetime.

No. They were each involved with other workers are the station. I just saw the anchors say they had a party just this morning for the camera man's fiance who's last day at the station was today.
The reporter was involved with the co-anchor of the show.

Yep. That link I posted has co-workers talking about them. The camera man's fiancée was celebrating her last day at the station and he had remarked to others that he was going to get out of the news business.
Tremendously sad.

These things are almost never random. Hopefully they'll be able to figure out who this is. At least they got at least a partial image of the guy.

Not much seems to be known about the condition and well-being of the lady who was being interviewed. Her account of what happened would be hard to imagine.

Seeing Twitter reports that the gunman may be a former station employee
