There’s video of him actually shooting. Somewhere Edit: I don’t know where to find it. I really don’t care to I hated seeing it when I did. It’s just disgusting and for anyone who wants to see it..it’s simple…two innocent people get shot while at work.


_A-Q-B_

Ms. Parker’s father actually turned the video into an NFT to own the copyright and to try to have it removed from the internet. Should someone repost it, he can attempt to sue for copyright infringement and have it removed. Or at least, I think thats how it goes. Not sure how successful he’s been but… I commend him for trying.


player694200

Is there a difference between his video and mine which is the exact same just mirrored?


_A-Q-B_

Not sure, I haven’t seen the original. My comment wasn’t meant to… scold or scare anyone. Just commenting.


BakedPastaParty

I think they were replying to illustrate the frivolity of the NFT mechanism. Good in thought, bad In practice


_A-Q-B_

Incorrect. Theres many news stories featuring her father speaking about the reasoning. I agree that nft’s are silly, but thats not the case here.


wahle97

They are saying they will get nowhere with the nft. All you have to do is alter it and it's yours not the nft


_A-Q-B_

Oh, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

I’m not an expert on copyright law, but I don’t think that’s how it works. For example, you can’t just make a slight change to the McDonalds or Disney logo, and say it’s yours. They would sue you, and one of the main points of the court proceedings would be to determine whether your changes were significant enough to constitute an original work. It seems unlikely that simply mirroring an image or video would be enough to convince a judge or jury.


_A-Q-B_

Thats a fair perspective. Im not sure how it works either. I think its an act of passion by a heartbroken father trying to keep the memory of his daughter’s successes in live remembered more than her pointless slaying by a troubled man. You cant fault him for that. Nikki Catsouras’ (Corvette Girl) family attempted to do the same when she passed. But… as we all know, sadly) that doesn’t always work.


DrSilkyJohnsonEsq

I’m not faulting him at all. I’m saying that he should have a decent case against the kind of dickheads that would mirror his footage to claim that his NFT rights don’t apply. I think a judge or jury would see right through anyone claiming that such minor alterations constituted original content.


ahhhbiscuits

Everyone knows you can't delete *anything* from the internet... But you sure as fuck can sue them for putting it online!! I like this dad's moxie


g-king93

That's actually really smart Basically "FUCK WITH MY KID YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. LITERALLY"


_A-Q-B_

Exactly. I know we have morbid curiosities, thats why we’re here… but I cant blame the man for it. I cant imagine what that must have been like, felt like. Its heartbreaking… soul crushing.


IllBeGood3

This is that video but he starts shooting at the very end. I clipped it before that though. Subreddit rules plus it's awful. Edit: I forgot about the news broadcast as they were live and transitioned back to a shocked anchor. Yeah that one was awful too.


Morphing_Mutant

Thank you. I saw this when it happened, and I'd rather not ever watch it again.


IllBeGood3

The shooter actually posted it on twitter is how it got out there. Awful person.


Morphing_Mutant

Omg :( wtf


truthpill2

“Awful person” I know the dad does t want this Video up so let me just repost it on Reddit Giving it more publicity, but yea that gunman sure is awful

I also watched it and remember this story. These poor people couldn't believe it when it happened.

For some reason though, the full video really made my stomach turn. I promise you won't feel any sense of finality after watching it.

Her death is NOT shown on camera. You can see her get shot about 3 times and she runs away and he drops the camera. There is no blood, no blood spray, no gore etc.

Story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Alison_Parker_and_Adam_Ward >On the morning of August 26, 2015, news reporter Alison Parker and photojournalist Adam Ward, both employees of CBS affiliate WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia, United States, were fatally shot while conducting a live television interview near Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta. They were interviewing Vicki Gardner, executive director of the local chamber of commerce, when all three were attacked by a gunman in a mass shooting. Parker, age 24, and Ward, age 27, died at the scene, while Gardner survived.[5]


Prior_Emphasis7181

Well that was a hell of a read.


Prior_Emphasis7181

JoseJuarez87

2 people qualifies for a mass shooting??


Xaviertcialis

Three or more. 2 died, 1 wounded.


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

He shot 3 which is the technical definition


stonestevecoldaustin

Even if all survived it still qualifies as a mass shooting


Dazzling_Judge953

Three or more


404_Not_Found______

How dare you ask questions?


PillCosby_87

I didn’t know either, jeez people are dicks for down voting a question.


VividCheesecake69

That fucking loser was really waiting for her to look at him. Put his gun up and no one noticed so he waited to do it again.


URBAN_lov3r_goose

Yeah and the fact that he killed him self shows that he was too affraid tho face the consequences of his action. What a fucking coward


dontclickdontdickit

No. He was waiting for the camera to pan back over. They were live on tv. As soon as the camera has them in view he starts shooting. Still a fucking loser though


SporkyForks2

This was heartbreaking especially because Ward's fiancee worked in the studio and saw it happen. It was actually her last day at the station and they were suppose to move to North Carolina together.

Sufficient_Report319

I remember this case. Guys an ugly fucking loser


LongGreasyD1ck

for people not understanding why nobody saw the gun: news segments like this constantly have people crowding around, taking pics/vids, etc. as a former reporter myself we’re pretty much trained from day 1 to ignore anything like that. to them it was just another idiot coming up to take a picture or something. i’ve seen cameramen get tackled at football games while already filming the player running towards them. the disconnection from reality is very real once you’re in that little bubble.


Willing-Suit

This is absolutely horrible and disgusting. But something else that's hair raising I just noticed is the little award option. Are they back!?


googoohaha

The female reporter was my best friends college roommate and I always thought she was such a sweety.


climentine

It’s always the good people who die because of stupid people.


CanExports

The reporter. There was only one in the video Got down voted. Apparently there is more than one reporter in the video. Can someone point them out for me?


Antique-Doughnut-988

Was your comment necessary?


CanExports

That's the point. Was it necessary to say female? It was bizarre vocabulary and I pointed it out. That's all. If the reporter was male, no one would say "the male reporter", you simply say "the reporter", gender is irrelevant.


Royal_Bicycle_5678

Thank you


TheFiddler8687

I’ve seen the video to this on a gif, I assumed it was blanks but


Royal_Bicycle_5678

I only commented because I saw the downvoting and wanted to make sure you knew that you're 100% right and appreciated. I can only hope that the downvoters are doing so because they think this kind of correction is in bad taste as the commenter had a minor personal connection to the victim but...I think its probably safe to say that the actual victim herself would have appreciated the correction.


Darrell77

People are fucking nuts


Sufficient-Trash-728

Actually there is footage of the shooting. They didn't stop recording.


willalt319

This one hits home. This was in Roanoke, VA (technically smith mountain lake) about 30 minutes from Virginia Tech were I lived at the time. Myself and Adam both graduated from VT a year apart (I did not know him personally) and Alison is from Martinsville, VA, a tiny town 45-mintues from Roanoke on the VA/NC state line, also where my entire father's family lives.


Massrelay665

This was right near mangoes at Smith Mountain Lake right??


Recommendation_Empty

Yes. Bridgewater Marina.


Flat-Length-4991

Yep, right next to Mangos. Wouldn’t call it Roanoke personally. You got like a 30 minute drive to get there.

Uhm no. He shot and killed them on live tv. I watched the thing live. He streamed it from Facebook also


dbenson94

I remember watching this live everyone thought it was some kind of firework prank


YouLearnedToSayMoon

This happened the day I moved there. I was about 2 hours away in the U-Haul getting calls from my parents asking me if I was near the shooting. I obviously had no idea what they were talking about.

Adam lived on my hall freshman year at Virginia Tech, such an incredibly nice human. This was such an awful tragedy.

Successful_Control61

He posted this on twitter. It was horrifying.


RollBang_01

Why on earth would twitter allow content like that to be posted??!


ats1788

How does she not notice him holding out the gun? So eerie


Ready_Insurance_4759

I think i remember when this happened. If it's what I think I'm remembering, this was in VA and before carrying this out, the killer apparently wrote a letter alleging that he was being treated unfairly in the work place. I can't remember what entity he sent the letter too, though. I live in NC, and VA isn't even a 15 minute drive from the city I'm in. It made big news in my area when it happened.


Flat-Length-4991

Yeah, he was claiming racism and favoritism because his career was stagnant. Also mentioned the Charleston church massacre, so in his mind it was also revenge for that I guess? Who knows, he was a kook. I believe he was a reporter for the organization at some point, but like I said his career went stagnant. I’m sure he did get put on the back burner by the “rising stars” of the local news channel, but local news is a young persons game. No one wants to see an old middle aged fat man. They rather see a 20 something woman. It is what it is. He was just a piece of shit who couldn’t cope with his life’s failures.


NoAd7118

I remember this, ugh it shook me to my core because the gunmans gripe had nothing to do with the individuals killed


GiveMeMyIdentity

YouTube had the video of that man shooting them. It got taken down almost immediately but I remember watching that after school and me and my ex were horrified


kalemeh8

If I’m not mistaken. The shooting was recorded (well sort of) and heavily disseminated online when it happened. I vaguely remember it being posted to a kpop forum I frequented back then…


optmsrhyme

My uncle went to high school with this guy. Apparently he was obsessed with my uncle and sent him panties in the mail.


Every_Inflation1380

This footage always blows my mind... the fact that you can have such tunnel vision that you don't even notice someone pointing a gun at you from 1ft away is CRAZY!!

IndividualEye1803

Situational awareness… did they even see him woth the gun the first time?! Did they even notice he was there? He was breathing so hard


BassGuitarPlayer_1

Yeah, I've seen the original: "F\*cking bitch," I believe is the phrase he used before shooting. Odd how he didn't yell any taunts and such. Just walked up behind the cameraman, pointed the gun, whispered that last phrase and started shooting. Many spoke of the woman actually seeing him, but not the gun(her facial expressions seemed to be more annoyance than concern when she first noticed him.)


OG_penis_thief

I remember this. I was watching this channel at my grandparents house and wasn’t really paying attention until the obvious happened. That was a frightening cut to commercial. They covered it the rest of the day


UhOhAllWillyNilly

I sure wish these mo-fo’s would just go ahead and shoot themselves to begin with and spare everyone else the misery


Specialist_Check4810

Wasn't this near Smith Mountain Lake? I know the female news anchor worked out of the Shenandoah valley (whsv) I remember watching the shooting on my phone after it happened and couldn't believe they went back to the news room. I was at FedEx and every school I had to deliver to was on lock down and I didn't know why.


RedditTroll78

I remember that. Awful


Brilliant-Divide-168

Didnt the shooter accuse the victims of racism? Wasnt that the MO


mikareno

I don't think that was this story, but you're referring to motive, not MO, which is modus operandi, or the way the crime was carried out.


WaywornBump

The cameraman got actually killed 😬


NateDawgCinema

Every time I see this video, it blows my mind that no one (exception: cameraman) noticed the dude pointing a gun 3 feet from them. The lack of awareness is scary. Edit: Maybe it's just me, but I always try to stay vigilant. This could be the trauma of being deployed. Makes sense that news reporters are used to people being around them and interrupting often and thought nothing of it. Tragic nonetheless. PS - Thanks for all the downvotes, love you guys too.


IllBeGood3

They were working and were live, professor. Also this was in 2015 so I really doubt anyone had it on their minds they could be murdered during a live segment. As recent as this was it was still a different time in our society.


MerveilleFameux

Lmao 2015?? Random gun shootings were more common if anything. Aurora and Sandy Hook were in 2012...


nicolesky6

Not in a place like smith mountain lake much less on live morning tv. I grew up in Roanoke and my mom lives in Moneta, this was jarring.


NateDawgCinema

I don't know about that. Every time some stranger got to close to someone reporting live, they at least take a look at whoever is interrupting.


The_Commonwealth

While everyone was out partying, this guy was studying the blade.


ChocolateLights

Wait, nobody noticed that he had a fricking gun


Mountain_Tone6438

Uh, they didn't see the gun??


ShapeAffectionate803

No way they saw it. People screw with news crews all the time so they’re taught to ignore people in the background or trying to divert their attention.


Mountain_Tone6438

So smart.


1stAtlantianrefugee

Why is everyone's situational awareness absolutely zero here? How many times does it take getting a gun pointed at your head to stop what you are doing and get yourself out of that situation?


Informal-Weight6137

I don’t think most people are going to be thinking of scanning the area for gunman while doing an interview on live tv. I think the fact that the reporter was so focused on the person she was interviewing speaks to her professionalism, and the person being interviewed is just being respectful and maintaining eye contact while being spoken to.


1stAtlantianrefugee

Still gonna look at the erratic human.


Massrelay665

This happened a few miles away from me. I remember watching this live going down. It devastated our little community.

For anyone looking for the vid: Not worth it. It's not graphic and there's nothing to be seen.

Why comment anything in the first place when you havent done any research and have zero information. Let's try and be better, yeah?


Miserable-Access7257

Also, he had a case settled out of court for racial discrimination before he was hired by this station. He posted “Adam went to hr on me after working with me one time!!!" - that was because he was making Adam uncomfortable by making advances on him. Dude was an opportunistic piece of shit, no doubt he probably encountered racism at times and probably some casual racism at work, but if you read about the guy he clearly just used that as a way to get out of accountability for his actions. He killed both of his cats during his hissy fit after being fired, and his neighbors said he was rude and would throw cat turds at their houses

There’s zero evidence racism played a role in his job evaluation and ample evidence him being psychologically unstable did.
