The gunman who killed two journalists on live TV in Virginia in August of 2015 was Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as Bryce Williams. Flanagan was a former reporter at WDBJ-TV, the station where the journalists worked. He was fired from the station in 2013.

Flanagan shot and killed Alison Parker and Adam Ward while they were conducting a live interview. He also shot and injured Vicki Gardner, the woman they were interviewing. Flanagan then fled the scene and later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The shooting was a tragedy that shocked the nation. It was the first time that two journalists had been killed on live TV in the United States. The shooting also raised concerns about the safety of journalists and the potential for violence against the media.
