Vester Flanagan Twitter: Bryce Williams Reportedly Claims Live Virginia Shooting Victim Alison Parker Made ‘Racist Comments’

A Twitter account associated with the person of interest in the Virginia shooting and killing of two reporters on live TV, Vester Flanagan, claims that WDBJ reporter Alison Parker made "racist comments." He also goes by the name Bryce Williams professionally.

"Alison made racist comments," says a tweet posted on the Twitter account associated with Bryce Williams, allegedly referring to WDBJ reporter Alison Parker, who was shot and killed this morning during a live TV news broadcast. The tweets were posted around 11 a.m., after the shooting.

"EEOC report filed," another tweet says.

"They hired her after that???"

Then Bryce Williams reportedly mentions Adam Ward, who was the photographer shot on live TV.

"Adam went to hr on me after working with me one time!!!" the tweet says.

The account - @bryce_williams7 - has since been suspended on Twitter.

According to CNN, authorities say they are looking for former WDBJ employee Vester L. Flanagan, who is driving a 2009 gray Ford Mustang, according to a Augusta County, Virginia, sheriff's department representative. Police are looking for Flanagan in connection with Wednesday's shooting, but are not yet calling him a suspect, the representative said.

Alison Parker was interviewing a woman at about 6:45 a.m. at Bridgewater Plaza near Moneta, Virginia when shots rang out. Both women screamed.

As the camera fell to the ground, the audience caught a glimpse of a man who appeared to point a gun toward the downed cameraman, Adam Ward.

Flanagan was hired at WDBJ in April 2012, according to TVSpy.com.
