this was supposed to be probably a fun story, a positive story, at least an informative story about commerce and tourism. they were out there doing an interview. we watched the video so that you don t have to. we re not playing that video, as you heard drew griffin say but we did watch it. it s horrifying because you ll see the gunman as he lingers, almost touching the photographer who has his back to the gunman. you can see this young woman. alison parker, 24 years old and conducting this interview and is listening to what vicky gardner is saying. there is no warning that this gunman is getting ready to fire. all you see is her reacting to the shots that are fired and you hear them six, seven, possibly eight shots that were fired in rapid succession and you hear her screaming. this is a 24-year-old woman, brooke. her boyfriend is an anchor at the station and he has unloaded heartbreaking tweets today. when you talk about loved ones who are watching in this community because these are

cameraman/photographer, 27-year-old adam ward, were conducting that live interview. this was actually at a water park in moneta. that s about 26 miles from roanoke, virginia. wdbj s general manager announced their deaths on air. i have a very, very sad duty to report that we have determined, through the help of the police and our own employees, that alison and adam died this morning shortly after 6:45 when the shots rang out. we do not know the motive, we do not know who the suspect or who the killer is. i just got off the phone with franklin county sheriff overton, i just got off the phone before that with the state police. they are working very diligently to track down both the motive and the person responsible for this terrible crime against two fine journalists. i cannot tell you how much they were loved. following that update from the general manager of the station, we heard from, as you just heard, the governor of the state confirmed that the individual that they ar
