My money is they tweeted about it or something along those lines. Local news does that kind of thing. He could gave gotten word from someone else working there but no need for such speculation at this time.

Either their personal vehicle or the station van.

I have a buddy who used to film for CLTV in Chicago. He drove a company van/truck from the office.

"Later in the broadcast, we'll be hearing from so and so who is at such and such"

We don't know how many days he may have been waiting to do this. He bought the gun in June.

call in several snippets from the same location throughout the morning news (from 5 to 9). He had 1.5 hours from her first video at the shopping centers to get there.

1. He followed them. They drive in big marked vans.

2. He watched the news cast from the very beginning, they were doing hourly remotes from that same location.

he may have been stalking either or both of them for some time.

he was in a rented car/suv so he may have chosen to rent it so he would avoid notice which could indicate premeditation and/or stalking. Wonder what his suicide note said. Apparently he posted his recording of the shooting that he captured during the event on social media, perhaps he also left a note about why he did it there as well as the one said to have been found with his body.
