MARQUEZ: Murdered on live television. New information this morning about the gunman who killed two young journalists. The note he left behind, a community in morning, and the renewed debate of gun control. Welcome back to somber EARLY START. I'm Miguel Marquez.</s>KOSIK: And I'm Alison Kosik. It is half 5:00 right now in East Coast. We are getting new information this morning about the motives driving the gunman who killed two Virginia TV journalists and seriously wounding the woman that they were interviewing live, right on TV. After the shooting, Vester Lee Flanagan, he faxed a 23-page suicide note to ABC News under the name "Bryce Williams". That was the name he used on air as a TV reporter, including at that station until he was fired. Now, in this note, he details a long list of grievances and expresses admiration for the Virginia tech and Columbine shooter. Flanigan, an African-American, also points to the Charleston church massacre as a spark for his crime. In this note, he writes, "The church shooting was the tipping point, but my anger has been building steadily. I have been a human powder keg for a while just waiting to go boom."
