watch this clip that the shooter posted after he shot the people. i find it strange that he would record and post it. NO SHOOTING is shown but you see him raise the gun. it will most likely be pulled soon

The reporter who was shot and killed, Allison Parker, was the daughter of Andy Parker, who my wife Valerie and I know from a number of years ago when my wife was on a national tour of a Broadway show that Andy was in also. Allison was the same age as our daughter, who oddly enough is also named Allison. I cannot even begin to imagine what Andy and his wife are going through right now. I know that Valerie and I would be completely devastated at the loss of one of our children due to such a terrible act. Our hearts go out to Andy and Bonnie in the aftermath of this tragedy.

Thoughts and :pray::pray: go to the victims' families.

It appears that the shooter is a disgruntled former employee, obviously, with mental issues.

Another piece on the I-net said the shooter sent a 23 page manifesto letter to a local ABC station last night.
