Here we go...

He definitely wasn't trained at all though. Terrible shot. The interviewee is very very lucky...

Matty I hate to disagree with you over a Subject
like this.....He killed 2 people on site instantly.....And put another one in the
hospital with 1 in the back.....Hardly a bad shot.....Unfortunately.

In the manifest linked below, Flanagan says he was a gay man and appears to claim he was a victim of homophobia from his co-workers, including “black men and white females.” —
ABC News reports that Flanagan left a suicide note indicating he was motivated by a “Race War.
“As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.”
Later in the manifesto, the writer quotes the Virginia Tech mass killer, Seung Hui Cho, and calls him “his boy,” and expresses admiration for the Columbine High School killers. “Also, I was influenced by Seung–Hui Cho. That’s my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylann Klebold got…just sayin’.
In an often rambling letter to the authorities, and family and friends, he writes of a long list of grievances. In one part of the document, Williams calls it a “Suicide Note for Friends and Family”.
–He says has suffered racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying at work.
–He says he has been attacked by black men and white females.
–He talks about how he was attacked for being a gay, black man

The Associated Press is reporting that Vester Flanagan died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

This morning, a fax was in the machine (time stamped 8:26 a.m.) almost two hours after the shooting. A little after 10 a.m., he called again, and introduced himself as Bryce, but also said his legal name was Vester Lee Flanagan, and that he shot two people this morning. While on the phone, he said authorities are “after me,” and “all over the place.” He hung up. ABC News contacted the authorities immediately and provided them with the fax.
In the 23-page document faxed to ABC News, the writer says “MY NAME IS BRYCE WILLIAMS” and his legal name is Vester Lee Flanagan II. He writes what triggered today’s carnage was his reaction to the racism of the Charleston church shooting:
“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15…”
“What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them."

It is unclear whose initials he is referring to. He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act.

“Yes, it will sound like I am angry...I am. And I have every right to be. But when I leave this Earth, the only emotion I want to feel is peace....”
“The church shooting was the tipping point…but my anger has been building steadily...I’ve been a human powder keg for a while…just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”

Worse shot I've seen in awhile. that was almost execution style and someone lived, luckily. You can see the first bullet hit her in the abdomen. I'm sure it was meant for the heart. Anyways, terrible subject to talk about, but you can clearly tell the guy was uncomfortable with a handgun.

Him being a bad shot is.....He goes their and panics....1 shot hits the house....1 shot goes in the water....He gets 1 in the arm and she gets 1 in the leg and they both live.....Now that's what you call a BAD SHOT...He was on a mission to kill both and he succeeded......Hardly a bad shot.

Believe me I wish he was a bad shot that's for sure.

We disagree....No Biggie.

Let the conspiracy theories begin. Who believes he missed 3x at point blank range? Why doesn't it show the cameraman being shot? Why does the video go blank? Why are the ladies so calm? How could they not have seen him in their peripheral vision?

Racism and gun control. Here we go...

i heard them say they often do reports from the same location on all the morning news casts...so 5am news, 6am news, 9 am news etc....he likely watched the first show of the morning and then just drove to that location....

Creepy how he stood there & they never even noticed him until he started firing....

I've facilitated hundreds of media interviews. Live media interviews are intense and you're solely focused on the interviewee. The reporter usually has been practicing for about 30 minutes in advance and is totally oblivious to anything going on around him/her.

The killer was a fudge-packer, and did it because he felt he was a victim of homophobia.

I was going to mention earlier that the dude looked a little flamboyant in some of those pics. He was a flaming fag. The dude had hatred towards others he perceived as disliking blacks and gays. Head case...
