It was just a regular interview for a Virginia reporter. Alison Parker was interviewing someone about Virginia tourism live on the local news broadcast.
Suddenly, without warning, a psychopath starts firing. Apparently hitting camera man Adam Ward first.
In what is one of the most chilling things you may see, Parker can be seen fleeing and screaming as she tried to get away from her murderer.
From USA Today:
Two members of a local TV station’s news team were fatally shot Wednesday during a live TV broadcast near Roanoke, Va., WDBJ7-TV said.A manhunt was underway in Franklin County, Va. Gov. Terry McAuliffe said told WTOP radio that police know who the shooter is and are pursuing him.The station said the shooting took place at about 6:45 a.m. Killed were WDBJ7’s cameraman Adam Ward, 27, and reporter Alison Parker, 24.“We do not know the motive, we do not know who the suspect, who the killer is,” station manager Jeffrey Marks said later on a live broadcast.
The live broadcast at the time of the shooting showed Parker interviewing someone at a resort when, just off camera, shots rang out and Parker is heard screaming. The recording appears to include a glimpse of the gunman dressed in black.
