Man who shot 2 reporters this morning shoots himself

They are reporting that the man who killed two reporters this morning shoots himself.

They are also reporting that he was a disgruntled employee.

Updating at this time he is still alive.

Supposedly this might be tied to perceived racist remarks from one of the dead earlier this week. We might be entering a dangerous new time.

The reports that I have seen are that the alleged shooter only wounded himself, and he is not dead at this time.

Just reported that the shooter has now been pronounced dead at the hospital.

From what I've seen, it appears the shooter chose his victims not because of any racist remarks they may, or may not have, made, but, rather, because he was angry over the shootings in Charleston. I'd say we're entering a more dangerous time than we've been in, not that we're entering a new time, really. I also believe we're bringing it on ourselves to a great extent.

More info on the perp and his suicide note: now they're saying the Charleston shooting was a "tipping point", and that he claims to have been bullied at work. It doesn't say either of his victims bullied him, but kind of gives that impression. He also says he was a gay black man who suffered discrimination as a result.
