BBC have a still on their web article. Not clear.

Just seen the bios of the victims on the BBC website, timing-wise it looks like Adam Ward attended Virginia Tech around the same time as the massacre there in 2007, horrible irony

*a rough guess on my part obviously, not seen any other info about this.

Absolutely.

One of the things I detest about Twitter is that you have no choice as to whether you see whatever pictures some sociopath wants to post. I've seen and can't unsee more dead and mutilated bodies than I ever thought possible. And now with self-playing videos in tweets the possibilities are endless.

It does not show respect to either the deceased or your audience to share these sort of images.

I've disabled the pictures on the app on my iPhone. Now if I want to see a pic I have to click on the link. I'm sure you can do this on Android too.

Thanks. I didn't know that (and I got no reply when I complained to Twitter).

Out of morbid curiosity I watched the film (Yep. I did. I know it was wrong.) You have to hand it to the lady in the studio. You could tell she was shocked, but she kept it together and handled it about as well as possible with the circumstances.

Perhaps she handled it a little too well?

You also posted a picture featuring a black dude who was described by the article I linked to as the shooter. So I was confused that you originally said he was white, thats all.

Looks like the light has just caught his face strangely tbh, but it's unimportant really.

I'm not hating on you about it. I was just saying what it looked like to me. I will drop it if you prefer.

It is unimportant. It's just a weird bit of film all the way around.
