A VIDEO of the man who shot two American journalists on live TV 
has emerged showing him in an angry road rage incident just a 
few weeks ago.

Vester Lee Flanagan is seen threatening motorist, Brandon 
Foster, in a Roanoke, Virginia car park on July 6 near the WDBJ7 
newsroom where reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam 
Ward, 27, worked.

YouTube user Mr Foster posted the footage after recognising 
Flanagan - who also called himself Bryce Williams - as the 
gunman who brutally shot the journalists in an early morning 
live broadcast yesterday.

Mr Foster said: "It's tough to realise I'd come toe to toe with 
him in that way. I offer my condolences to the families of the 
two journalists killed."

He told how he was driving along a three-lane highway when he 
saw a car driving "in excess of 100mph", dangerously weaving 
from lane one to three between cars.

He stopped at a red traffic light and the car was in the lane 
next to him so he shouted at the driver, who he believes was 
Flanagan, who put down the chicken nuggets he was eating, rolled 
his window down and picked up his phone to start filming Mr 
Foster.

Mr Foster added: "He wanted me to re-live the confrontation, it 
was over in my mind but when the light went green he followed me 
and boxed me out but I managed to get in front of him when 
someone honked their horn and he looked back."

The frightened driver drove into a Sportsman Warehouse car park 
and started filming on his phone after Flanagan, wearing 
camouflage trousers and a blue American football jersey, 
followed him in, got out of his car and started filming Mr 
Foster.

The pair exchanged brief angry words and Mr Foster added: "I got 
out of my vehicle quickly so I wasn't boxed in and went quickly 
to the store so there were other people around because he 
obviously wasn't in his right mind."

Flanagan, 41, a disgruntled former WDBJ7 employee, filmed the 
sickening incident yesterday morning of him killing his two 
former colleagues and severely injuring interviewee Vicki 
Gardner.

He then sent a disturbing 23-page fax to the ABC newsroom saying 
his reaction to the Charleston church shooting of nine black 
parishioners by Dylann Roof in June inspired him to buy a gun 
and carry out the attack.

In the letter, which he called a "suicide note for friends and 
family" he said the bullets "have the victims' initials on them".

He also claimed he had been attacked by black men and white 
females and was victimised for being a gay black man.

Station manager, Jeff Marks, said: "I cannot tell you how much 
Alison and Adam were loved."

He said Flanagan was an "unhappy man" who had to be escorted by 
police from the news building after he was fired in 2013.
