So far the gunman's motive are not so clear, and the investigation is looking at his past employment at WDBJ7 as well other evidence, including the fax he allegedly sent to ABC News in New York.
In the fax, according to ABC, the gunman said “the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting in June is what put him over the edge, but he wrote that his "anger has been building steadily" because of racial discrimination and sexual harassment he claims to have endured.
He stressed on his fascination for the shooting of Colombine and High School and Virginia Tech.
The gunman also expressed his fascintation for the shooters who killed students at Columbine High School killers and Virginia Tech. Investigation is just starting and the methods of filming the shooting before sending it at the social media, is quite horrifying while the gunman comments that the victims have discriminated him about his black skin colour and his gay status.The investigation should be lengthy.
