Vester L. Flanagan II, the suspect in the slayings of two WDBJ-TV journalists, died at a hospital Wednesday afternoon of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Franklin County, Virginia, Sheriff Bill Overton told reporters.
Flanagan, a former WDBJ reporter, killed two of the Roanoke TV station's employees live on air before fleeing in a gray 2009 Ford Mustang to Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport. There, he ditched the Mustang and drove away in a Chevrolet Sonic that he had rented earlier in the month, Overton told reporters.
[. . .]
Flanagan was a reporter at WDBJ for about a year using the on-air name, Bryce Williams, according to a former WDBJ employee.
Flanagan was fired from the station, though the reason was not made public, the ex-employee said.

the manifesto's contents. They show Flanagan alleging that he had been the victim of bullying and discrimination because he is gay and black.
He also said that he was compelled to respond to Dylann Roof's massacre at a Charleston, South Carolina, church in June and he was inspired by Seung Hui Cho, who orchestrated the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007.
"You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE ...(deleted)!!!"
[. . .]
According to tweets from the Bryce Williams account, Alison had "made racist comments," while "Adam went to hr on me after working with me one time!!!" There was no elaboration, and CNN was unable to immediately confirm if either claim was true.

The suspect in the deadly on-air shooting of a reporter and a cameraman in Virginia said the Charleston church massacre made him snap — telling ABC News in a rambling manifesto that he wanted to spark a “race war” between blacks and whites.
“MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS. Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15,” wrote Vester Lee Flanagan II, a former on-air reporter who worked at Roanoke affiliate WDBJ under the name Bryce Williams.
“What sent me over the top was the church shooting,” he wrote in a 23-page fax sent to the news outlet. “And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them. As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!”
Williams added that Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to target on-air reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward during a live TV segment in Moneta, Va.
[. . .]
In his manifesto, Williams quoted the Virginia Tech mass killer and expressed admiration for the Columbine High School shooters.
“Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there,” he wrote. “He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylann Klebold got…just sayin’.”
At one point, Williams even dubbed the document a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family” as he listed several reasons why he was lashing out against white people.
He claimed to have been the constant victim of racism, sexual harassment and bullying at work, most of which was because he was a gay black man, according to ABC.

Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, of Roanoke, who went by Bryce Williams on air, sued WTWC Inc., a Tallahassee news station, in 2000 claiming race discrimination and retaliation, the suit states. He was hired by the company in 1999 as a newscaster, according to court documents.
“(I)n or around the Summer of 1999, (Flanagan) was called a ‘monkey’ by a producer with (the station),” the complaint says. “This producer held an upper level management position within (the station) and was a supervisor of (Flanagan).”
The case was “settled between the parties” in 2001, according to an order by U.S. District Court Judge William Stafford.
