A Virginia reporter and photographer were murdered live on television.
A mysterious gunman killed a reporter and videographer for a CBS affiliate in Virginia in a shooting that was broadcast live Wednesday morning.
The affiliate, WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, reports that police are currently looking for the suspect. Alison Parker, 24, and Adam Ward, 27, a reporter and cameraman respectively for WDBJ-TV, died in the shooting, the station’s general manager, Jeff Marks, said during a broadcast later in the morning. Marks said that Parker and Ward died shortly after 6:45 a.m., after the shots were fired. “We heard screaming and then we heard nothing,” Marks said. Marks said the police do not know the motive of the shooting or the gunman’s identity.
