On Wednesday, USA Network announced that they are postponing the Season 1 finale of "Mr. Robot" after two Virginia journalists working for Roanoke-based news station WDBJ were shot and killed on air.

According to Hitfix, the season finale features a "very graphic on-camera shooting," which makes the network's decision to postpone the episode a smart one.

It's a small gesture on the network's part to do what they can after reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were killed by suspected gunman Vester Lee Flanagan, a former WDBJ reporter who went by “Bryce Williams" on the air. Flanagan died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds later on Wednesday, police confirmed in a press conference.
