 The man who authorities said fatally shot a reporter and a 
 cameraman during a live report in Virginia this morning had 
 taken steps ahead of the attack, according to details from 
 investigators and the 23-page suicide note someone claiming to 
 be him sent to ABC News. 
  
 According to police, the shooter, Vester Lee Flanagan II, who 
 used the name Bryce Williams on air, died this afternoon as a 
 result of a self-inflicted gunshot hours after the attack on the 
 crew at the station that he was fired from two years ago. 
  
 Here is what is believed about his actions during the months 
 leading up to today's shooting. 
  
 According to the the letter that was faxed to ABC News this 
 morning, the author wrote that he was motivated by the massacre 
 at Charleston, SC church and took steps to buy a gun two days 
 later. 
  
 "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.€ 
  
 The author wrote that: "what sent me over the top was the church 
 shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims€ initials 
 on them." 
  
 "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!!!!€ 
  
 It was not clear how or when the gunman obtained the firearm 
 that was used in today's shooting. 
  
 Earlier in August 
  
 Virginia State Police Sgt. Rick Garletts said Flanagan, 41, 
 rented a Chevrolet Sonic earlier this month. 
  
 In the past few weeks, a man who identified himself as "Bryce 
 Williams" began contacting ABC News saying that he wanted to 
 pitch a story and requesting a fax number. He never told ABC 
 News about the content of the story. 
  
 6:43 a.m. Today 
  
 Garletts said that the Franklin County Sheriff's Office received 
 a 911 call about the gunshots heard fired at Bridgewater Plaza 
 near Smith Mountain Lake. 
  
 A WDBJ crew, made up of reporter Alison Parker and cameraman 
 Adam Ward, were doing a live interview at that location. The 
 footage was aired live, and viewers heard gunshots. 
  
 Ward's fiancee worked as a producer for the morning news program 
 and was in the station's control room when the footage aired. 
  
 Authorities said Flanagan fled the scene in his vehicle, a 2009 
 Ford Mustang. 
  
 8:26 a.m. 
  
 The 23-page suicide note was received at a fax machine in ABC 
 News' New York headquarters. 
  
 10 a.m. 
  
 The man identifying himself as Williams called ABC News 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. 
  
 Just Before 11 a.m. 
  
 Police tracked the Mustang to the Roanoke regional airport. 
  
 Garletts said that Flanagan then left the airport today in the 
 Chevrolet Sonic. 
  
 11:09 a.m. 
  
 Williams began posting messages on his Twitter account, 
 detailing alleged grievances that he had with people he 
 identified as "Alison" and "Adam," noting that he posted a video 
 of the shooting on Facebook. It has since been taken down. 
  
 He posted a series of five tweets over the span of three minutes. 
  
 Just Before 11:30 a.m. 
  
 A Virginia state police trooper used a license plate reader, 
 which identified a Chevrolet Sonic traveling east on Interstate 
 66 as the one that had been rented to Flanagan. 
  
 "She followed the vehicle a short distance as troopers responded 
 to assist her before she activated her lights," Garletts said. 
  
 Backup arrived and she tried to get the vehicle to stop, using 
 emergency equipment like sirens, but Garletts said he sped away. 
  
 "It was only a minute or two later when the Sonic ran off the 
 road into the median," Garletts said. 
  
 Flanagan was found in the car by the trooper, suffering from a 
 self-inflicted gunshot wound and was airlifted to a hospital in 
 Fairfax. 
  
 1:30 p.m. 
  
 Flanagan died at the Inova Fairfax Hospital as a result of the 
 self-inflicted wound.
