They're Saying A Disgruntled Former Employee Shot The Reporter & Cameraman - But -.....

[global1]

if he didn't work at the station anymore - how did he know the location of this report? Was he tipped off of the location by someone on the inside?

1. I'm sure they're investigating that.

It's impossible for us at DU to do that investigation, and speculation probably won't help in sorting things out. I imagine we'll be hearing about this for some time, though. As details are known, they'll get reported, I'm sure.

2. Wouldn't be too hard to follow the news van.

Knowing that it would be doing a live report that morning.

3. He was tipped off

by the guy on the grassy knoll.

4. He's on 64 headed toward Charlottesville. I hear

That's at least 90 minutes from the murder site. I hear the State Troopers have him ID'd but they are taking it slow - murder by cop likely.

8. Murder by cop? The cops murdered these people?

[NuclearDem]

9. I think they meant suicide by cop.

15. Yes

Thanks

5. not too hard to follow one of these from the station, they kind of stand out

6. Local news -- not hard.

7. It did just come across the scanner that there's a possible

accomplice with a cream-colored Charger who had been "relaying him information." They are stopping a vehicle on the scanner right now. http://tunein.com/radio/Virginia-State-Police-Division-3-s145408/

11. They have been getting the vehicle wrong all morning.

They just changed it again to a 2015 Silver Sonic.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I just came here to post that.

it's gone from Mustang found, to possible cream Charger or Impala to this Sonic now.

13. Remember the white van in the 2002 DC sniper shootings?

I remember being in the Maryland Virginia area while the shootings were taking place, and everyone was on edge about reports of the shooters being in a white van. Police were stopping white vans left and right following each shooting.

In the end, it turns out the shooters were driving a blue Chevy Caprice, which looks nothing like a white van.

10. They probably did a tease for the story earlier in the show

and all the guy had to do was go to the area an look for the live truck.

The truck would have a microwave mast deployed making it easy to track down.



(Similar to these TV Live Trucks.)

14. A lot of times local news will say in a promo that they will be reporting

at a certain location on their next telecast.
