2 TV journalists shot dead during live broadcast

AFP

Journalist Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, of the Virginia affiliate of CBS, were shot at close range while conducting an on-air interview at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, a town near Roanoke. Vicki Gardner, a member of the local chamber of commerce, the interviewee, was shot in the back and is undergoing surgery. Vester Lee Flanagan, known on air as Bryce Williams, shot himself along a Virginia highway after fleeing from police. According to various media reports, the suspect filmed the murder himself and posted it on Twitter. His now suspended Twitter account said that Ward complained to human resources about him after only working with him for a day, which apparently got him fired.
