An African American points his weapon at the camera during a live broadcast in the wake of the Texas massacre

 An American man appeared to point a pistol he was carrying at a camera while an American reporter on a live broadcast provided news coverage about the use of firearms in the recent violent incidents that rocked the United States, one day after the horrific Texas massacre that killed 19 children and two teachers.

Fox 32 Reporter Joanie Lum was live Wednesday morning on Good Day Chicago, with a man walking briskly behind her, pointing a small pistol at the camera, and then following the reporter with showmanship, brandishing his firearm.

For its part, the presenter, Natalie Boumki, said on the air that the reporter and cameraman were not harmed in the accident.

In turn, Anita Padilla, a reporter at FOX 32, wrote on Twitter: "The gun was about one foot from my colleague's head pointing at the camera and photographer," adding, "Thank God she is fine."

While Chicago police began searching for the man, according to the American newspaper, "People".
