Search warrant lists items found in shooter's rental car - Franklin News Post
Instead, “he was observed to place an object to his head,” according to an affidavit filed with a warrant to search the Chevrolet Sonic he was driving. During a live WDBJ (Channel 7) broadcast early Wednesday from Smith Mountain Lake, Flanagan opened fire on reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, killing both. They caught up with him at mile marker 17. Inside the rented sedan that crashed into the center median after Flanagan shot himself, police found a Glock pistol with a magazine and ammunition, six Glock magazines and 9 mm ammunition. Investigators also seized a briefcase with three license plates, a wig, shawl, umbrella and sunglasses along with assorted handwritten and typed letters and notes, a book bag with papers and cards, 17 stamped letters, a to-do list, rental car... Flanagan legally purchased the Glock in July, rented the Chevrolet Sonic at least 10 days before the shooting and switched to that car from his Ford Mustang at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport, according to authorities. And the most chilling fact of all cited in the affidavit: Flanagan apparently shot video of the attack, showing him approaching the victims and pausing before firing.
