bring in mary ellen o'toole, a former fbi criminal profile with one key question. this was carried out in sensational fashion. what can you tell us about vester lee flanagan? >> based on the information released so far he would be classified ads a dangerous injustice collector, the person who goes through life and feels they are insulted or put down all the time and their response to that perception is the they overreact. this is not snapping behavior, this is not real quick just thought about it yesterday behavior. he thought about and plant this for a very long time and it is completely disproportionate in terms of its egregious to whatever this week to reporters and camera men had done to him. >> interesting you say that. when you consider what the general manager of the television station just said after they let him go after they released him they had to get police escort him out of the building and it was you who asked what do you do with a guy like that? could you think anything like this would follow? >> you really don't because nine times out of ten it is

mary ellen o'toole with the fbi says his killing spree may not have been over. >> when the police found the to- do list on notes or journals in his car, i think that becomes significant. hopefully, he put in there where he intended to go. >> reporter: they did not know he was such a threat until alison parker and adam ward were gunned downright here on this deck overlooking this lake. cbs news, virginia. >>> the morning show had wdbj pause at 6:45 today to remember their former coworkers. >> as it was yesterday around this time that we went live to alison parker and photo journalist adam ward. they were out on the field. a story like so many others they did all the time. we are ending this moment. you can see, the blessings of our many friends out there, all of you, we will heal from this. thank you. >> reporter alison parker was just 24 years old. her photographer adam ward was 27. >>> the officer fired back with a fatal shot and tonight, christin ayers has the officer's frantic call for help. >> reporter: this freeze frame from the witnesses' cell phone video showed the moment after t

. >> reporter: mary ellen o'toole, a former criminal profiler with the f.b.i., says the evidence suggesting flanagan's killing spree may not have been over. >> so when the police have recovered to-doe list or notes or journals in his car, writings, i think that becomes significant because hopefully he put in there where he intended to go. >> reporter: flanagan, a california native, stayed in fired. the other reporters in town would see him. maurice, station management says it did not know that he was such a threat until alison parker and adam ward were gunned down right lake. you tonight. now, to the tributes being paid to the victims. kris van cleave has that part of the story. >> it was yesterday around this time that he went live to alison parker and photojournalist adam ward. they were out in the field. the story was like so many others that they did all the time. >> reporter: a moment of silence marking the void left by anchor kimberly mcbroom was on the air when parker and ward murdered. how powerful was that moment of silence? >> it was powerful to me. we've relied on each other, all

mary ellen o'toole, if you could, stand by for a bit more.he governor saying suspect being identified is being chased on interstate 64. you see a picture of a gunman caught on camera moments after the shots were fired and the camera dropped and cameraman was killed. that is probably among the best of the leads that may have led police to this suspect. so we're going to pause and take a quick break. heather: we are. the governor saying that an arrest is imminent. it could happen at any moment. we'll be here to bring that to you when it happens. let's show victims once again. we have three shot in this incident that happened around 6:45 this morning in southwest virginia, live on the air. alison parker, 27 years old. she attended james madison. lived most of her life in virginia. allen ward, 24, attended virginia tech. woman who was being interviewed at the time, vicki gardner, suffered a gunshot to the back. she is in the hospital right now. stay with us. did you know that good nutrition is critical for brain health? brain food, hmmm. ensure h

>>> i was though bring in mary ellen o'toole. >>> and also the author of the book "the will to kill"se sense of senseless murder. let me make clear, we don't want to put more focus than we absolutely have to on this killer to give him the attention he so obviously sought for whatever deranged reasons he has, but it is important to understand if there were signs that could have been seen, if there was something that could have been done, so this man obviously had a problem with this station wdbj. he was fired, he was disgruntled, at one point escorted from the building. they had security locking down the building the day that he left. that doesn't seem normal. that seems like something beyond just a disgrunt you would employee. >> it certainly did. as more information becomes available about this individual, what they are going to find is he had problem relationships with other people going back to his childhood. these problems are what result in what i call the injustice colle collector, and that's someone who basically goes through life and they collect injustices from everybody. th

mary ellen o'toole who was on earlier. it was the exact same thing i thought as i read through it. classic injustice collector. there's these lists, everything but the kitchen sink and several of them on the face of it are preposterous. here's a person -- >> what is an injustice collector? >> it's somebody who collects like everything he sees -- no matter what you do, he collect these things. >> he would have found something. he would have found a reason to collect injustice. >> oh, sure. >> somewhere. it didn't have to be something that happened at this television station. he would have been aggrieved at something. you have that sickness for lack of a better word. >> right. yes. so why did he lash out like this? >> yes. >> you know, the guy who created the fbi hostage negotiation unit. when i talked to him about this. he said a lot of these guys they commit suicide probably because they have a much better idea of how to start the shooting than the way out. or what they are going to do with it. they really don't have -- they haven't thought through how this will end. they know they

former fbi profilar mary ellen o'toole says inmates can be like predators on the look out for vulnerable which are often women who work inside the prisons. >> it starts small asking her to bring in a canny bar or asking her to bring in a stamp. there is wording that goes along with something like this, if only i had met a woman like you 20 years ago i would never be in this situation. so she would be very gullible in believing that. that's really called something we refer to in the fbi as magical thinking, that an inmate who has got that kind of a criminal background would tell you that and you would believe that. and then it goes even further to the point where they engage in sex together and she becomes almost 100% compromised. >> compromised enough that joyce mitchell tells investigators richard matt made her feel special. and other reports say she thinks it could have been love. but was she in so deep she was willing to risk everything for it? >> i don't know why anybody is surprised. i think all americans know that crazy, lonely low self-esteem type of people, like like prisoners in

. >>> former fbi assistant director chris swecker and mary ellen o'toole and matthew far. when you look at this list of what police found in his car, more ammunition, a suicide note he wrote about past mass kill killers, including the virginia tech shooter and one up manship going up. he wrote, i was influenced by cho, that's my boy right there. he got nearly double the amount that harris and klebold got. harris and klebold from the columbine shooting. based on what was found in the car and those comments, do you think he was planning on killing more? >> yeah. it's my sense that when i heard about what was in the car -- compare that with the crime itself. it was so sensational and it was so dramatic, so over the top, that he possibly was not threw at that point. if he wanted to suicide earlier, he could have. at that point and looking at the items, i think there's every possibility that he intended more crimes. >> chris, i want to ask you, you have great experience here driving this rental car not only the ammunition, you had the extra license plates, you had a wig, possib

. >> mary ellen o'toole, thank for your insight. i appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> just moments ago the morning team held a moment of silence for their fallen colleagues and we will too. >> it was yesterday around this time that we went live to alison parker and photo journalist adam ward. they were at bridgewater plaza near smith mountain lake to report on a happy event, the 50th anniversary of the lake, just a feature. the peacefulness of our community was shattered. as we approach that moment, we want to pause and reflect what made these two so special, not just to us, but to all of our hometowns that wdbj7 serves. please join us now in a moment of silence. (woman) you want to eat... ...you want to eat, who wants to eat... (dog) do i want to eat? yes, i want to eat. (woman) do you want to eat?
