HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
The man suspected of shooting and killing two television 
journalists in Roanoke, Va. Wednesday morning shot himself about 
five hours later during a police chase and was later pronounced 
dead at a hospital.

Authorities said the suspected gunman, Vester L. Flanagan, 
worked at WDBJ under the on-air name of Bryce Williams and was 
described by several people as a disgruntled employee at the 
station.

Dan Dennison, senior communications director for the Hawaii 
Department of Land and Natural Resources, was the news director 
of the station from 2011 to 2013 and also hired and fired 
Flanagan during his tenure. In a live interview on Hawaii News 
Now Sunrise, he said Flanagan, who was hired in 2012, was 
terminated in 2013, largely for performance issues.

“He had a level of a long series of complaints against coworkers 
nearly from the beginning of employment at the TV station,” 
Dennison said. “That really had nothing to do with his 
termination, and after a lot of investigation both internally 
and externally, all of these allegations were deemed to be 
unfounded. And they were largely under along racial lines, and 
we did a thorough investigation and could find no evidence that 
anyone had racially discriminated against this man.”

Although Dennison said he couldn’t share complete details about 
the incident, he added that Flanagan’s termination was one of 
the toughest he’s ever been involved in, so much so that police 
had to escort Flanagan out of the building because he wouldn’t 
leave on his own free will.

The two victims -- reporter Alison Parker, 24, and photographer 
Adam Ward, 27 – died after being shot at around 6:45 a.m. ET 
while conducting a live interview near Roanoke.

"They were both really just great young people and it’s such a 
tragic circumstance," Dennison said. "You just never know, when 
you’re going to work, how a potentially unhinged or unsettled 
person might impact your life in such a tragic way as we saw in 
Roanoke this morning."
