I really hope this doesn't become a thing the occurs a lot, since I'm out filming a lot. Luckily the area I work in is pretty safe.

Don't tweet or FB the video. A lot of people have autoplay turned on.

According to the live stream, one of the victim's fiancée is a producer at the station, so there's a chance he was watching as it happened. Just horrific.

What are the odds of an armed psychopath roaming a water park on a Wednesday at 6am in the morning?

Seems like this was not just a random attack, sounds like they were targeted and knew they were going to be conducting an interview in that spot, at that time

I wonder if them being engaged has anything to do with this shooting. Given that the witness wasn't killed makes me believe it might be an ex of the woman or something.

Looking at the pictures, doesn't seem like the type of place for people to just wander into. I wonder if it was a disgruntled employee?

I assume the woman being interviewed lived as she's not mentioned in any of the articles.

Hopefully they catch this guy quickly, rip to the victims.

The livestream has confirmed that she is OK, which really makes it sound (to me) like they were targeted.

This is what I'm thinking. Seemed way too deliberate. Guy appeared calm too. At least from the short screen grab avalaible.

Yeah right, just remember a bunch of kindergarteners were slaughtered and the only thing that came out of it was "durrr maybe teachers should have guns".

If Sandy Hook didn't change anything, to the point where people believe that it was a fucking conspiracy and didn't happen, nothing will.

We're the only first-world country where gun violence is such a massive problem. It's always worthy of discussion.

Mental health is also a massive problem. There are a lot of problems in this country, but a cheeky little "just another day in MURICA" comment like that when two young people get murdered just doing their job is tasteless, IMO.

Yep... if they were engaged it sounds like perhaps possible an ex BF or a stalker. Obviously just guessing here and nothing confirmed but my gut feeling is that. Seems so random if not..

Just horrible..

EDIT: Confirmed they were not dating each other... so who the hell knows.

That's terrifying! This occurred about 3 hours away from my home, but it still feels too close for comfort.

My condolences to their friends and family. I hope they stop this guy, and soon.
