Allison Parker/Adam Ward Killed On Air

Tragic news this morning that a reporter and her cameraman were killed on TV live
A third person being interviewed was shot and thank God she looks like she will survive
Before the identity of the suspected killer was known, the FBI  was on the ground
Fearful that another act of terrorism had just come down
Reports the killer may have had a beard added to the terrorist rumor
Another potential strike against the Homeland by the growing radical Islam tumor
To some extent the fanatic ideology of radical Islam is winning the war of terror
A reflex assumption that shootings are jihadist inspired, today shown to be in error
The killer had worked at the TV station but had a very thin skin and on his shoulder a big chip
He sued the station for discrimination but dismissed; he could not escape his anger’s grip
In the workplace he had became a growing angry and disruptive force
Forcing the station to a workplace safe and productive environment to enforce
To finally fire him and with the need for police to escort him from the station
A veritable powder keg waiting for a spark to explode in fatal detonation
An angry middle aged man for his treatment at the station and firing seeking payback
Angry over the Charleston church shooting prompted the purchase of the gun
Growing anger over his being fired two years ago, the fuse lit and the countdown had begun
A disturbed mind sending a 23 page manifesto to ABC on morning after the killing
Justifying his outrage over claimed discrimination of being a gay black man and wanting top news billing

Bryce Williams now dead from his self-inflicted wound was a disturbed man getting his sick last request

A TV news production with Alison Parker and Adam Ward to go out in a blaze of sick glory in final protest

Hopefully the details of his personality and past behavior can in great detail be revealed
Warning signs recognized that will prompt treatment or action so never again will we be exposedThna to a like ordeal
