his begun. greg? peter, was there any sign that he was planning on doing more damage? he was trying to get away? was he heading somewhere in particular? we had security all over the place in new york. was he going somewhere? reporter: and we brought security down here. because we were not sure exactly who was out there or if this guy was still out there. no indication on what he might have been planning. but it looked like he was just trying to get as much publicity as possible. because it was from social media accounts that were linked to his on-air name, brice williams, the name that he used basically his fake name that he used when he was a reporter before he got fired. he just wanted the whole world not only to know what his beef was with allison and adam, he was accusing them or discrimination. he was accusing them of racism. he also wanted the whole world to see his point of view video of their execution, of them
again still no word on where he might have been going. his social media posts kind of cut off after the police caught up with him. and he ended up shooting himself and dying in the hospital. but no word on who he might have been modelling himself after just yet. but who knows what else is out there. unbelievable. online. peter, thank you for that update. we ll take it around the table now. you also kind of wonder he was sitting there brewing, steaming about the fact he was let go. perhaps no other future employment opportunities for the past four few years. how do you identify somebody like that, dana, two years separate from the incident could still act out like this. very difficult. how do you continue to monitor somebody after two years? like if you have a hostile employee and they have to be escorted out of building, you might want to keep security a little tight for 30 days, whatever. there was apparently no indication that there was a direct threat from him against her

[ inaudible ]. very emotional. for more on the investigation and the victim who survived this horrific attack we are joined by fox s peter deucy at the scene. in moneta, virginia. this is a rapidly unfolding story throughout the day and so much heartache and loss in one moment. what can you tell us? reporter: and kimberly, you get a sense of how recently this happened in what on a different day would be a beautiful vacation town. if you look over my shoulder here at bridgewater plaza where an interview about tourism
several seconds completely undetected before he starts shooting. so that all happened here. it is really difficult not only to watch the videos but also to come here and to see that it is still a very active investigation. the car that this news crew, beloved by wall in this community, took to what would be their last live report still sits in the parking lot. kimberly? such a tragedy. jesse. peter, jesse watters. quick question for you. the firearm that was used here looked like a handgun on the video. what do we know about that? and does this guy have any sort of criminal history? i can t find anything anywhere about any history for him that would preclude him from buying the firearm. and then lastly, the final moment, did he shoot himself in the head when police closed in? what happened at the last second there? reporter: to start at the end, we know that the final last moments on earth for this
