Vester L. Flanagan — the man authorities say they’re seeking in connection with Wednesday’s fatal shooting of two journalists — worked at WDBJ as a reporter for about a year using the on-air name Bryce Williams, according to a former WDBJ employee. Flanagan was fired from the station, though the reason was not made public, the ex-employee said. It is believed that Flanagan is still in the Virginia area, a law enforcement source briefed on the search said.

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 killing of two WDBJ journalists, but stopped short of calling him a suspect, the representative said.
