   The gunman who shot two journalists to death during a live broadcast had a wig, six magazines of ammunition, and a to-do list in the car he was fleeing in before he killed himself, according to an inventory of items found in a search warrant return. 
   
   Police also found 17 stamped letters, a briefcase that contained three license plates, a shawl, and an umbrella in Vester Flanagan's rental car, the search warrant return said. 
   
   Police say Flanagan died at Innova Fairfax Hospital at 1:26 p.m. on Wednesday, hours after firing shots at a Moneta, Virginia, shopping center during Roanoke affiliate WDBJ's morning broadcast. 
   
   According to a probable cause affidavit filed to search Flanagan's car, police said Flanagan texted a friend "making reference to having done something stupid" following the shooting of WDBJ reporter Alison Parker, photographer Adam Ward, and local chamber of commerce director Vicki Gardner, who was also shot and survived.
target: – After his death, police searched the rental car Vester Flanagan used to flee after allegedly shooting two journalists to death during a live broadcast. What they found, per NBC News and reporter Tom Winter: A Glock pistol and six magazines of ammunition A to-do list 17 stamped letters A briefcase holding three license plates, a wig, a shawl, an umbrella, and sunglasses "Assorted handwritten and typed letter/notes" A black hat A "bookbag w/ random papers / cards" An iPhone The Enterprise rental agreement More details are coming to light today, including the fact that WDBJ, the station where victims Alison Parker and Adam Ward worked, helped authorities identify Flanagan as the suspect. Ward had captured an image of Flanagan pointing his gun toward the camera, and "everybody who was gathered around it said, 'That's Vester,'" the station's general manager tells NBC. "I wasn't sure. They were"—and so the station contacted the county sheriff with the information. After Flanagan allegedly carried out the shooting, police say he texted a friend "making reference to having done something stupid." The third victim, who was shot while Parker was interviewing her on camera, was upgraded to good condition today, WDBJ reports.
