Man kills self, A journalist and a cameraman during live TV broadcast in USA
Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27
The Pair were filming a light-hearted segment for WDBJ at 6.45am in Moneta, Virginia, when the shooting happened
Flanagan, who went by the name Bryce Williams when he was reporting, had also worked for WDBJ but was fired
Ward allegedly captured the moment Flanagan was sacked on film, including him being escorted away by police
Flanagan is said to have seen ward filming, told him to 'lose your big gut' and then flipped off the camera
Employees of WDBJ recalled Flanagan as an argumentative diva who was 'always looking to play the race card'
Note said perceived discrimination he had suffered, alongside the Charleston shootings, were behind the attack Flanagan later died of a self-inflicted gun wound while Vicki Gardner, who was also shot, is now stable in hospital
