The shooter also shot himself & is in critical condition. Why do they bother trying to save him, to face the death penalty?
He was fired & an angry man...
Alison was leaving today for a different station & Adam is engaged, both had much to live for. Tragic.

Two journalists were shot to death Wednesday morning while broadcasting live from a strip mall in Moneta, Va., near Roanoke.

“This is a horrific day for our family and the community we serve,” the station’s chief meteorologist, Brent Watts, said in a tweet.

According to WDBJ-7 News, the two journalists, Alison Parker, 24, and Adam Ward, a 27-year-old photographer, were covering a story at Bridgewater Plaza, a lakeside shopping and recreational sports plaza in Moneta when shots rang out

Another local station, WSLS10, said that police were searching for a gunman. The police told the station that there were three victims of the shooting.
