A TV reporter and a cameraman at a Virginia TV station have been shot and killed in the middle of a live on air report. The general manager of WDBJ Television in Roanoke identifies them as reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward. The shooting happened at a shopping mall in Moneta, about 25 miles southeast of Roanoke. In the video, the reporter is interviewing someone about tourism in the area — when suddenly at least eight shots are heard. The camera appears to get dropped on the ground, and a woman can be heard screaming. The station then switches back to a shot of an anchor back at the station, who has a shocked expression on her face. The shooter has been identified as Vester Flanagan, a former TV station employee. He has since died after turning the gun on himself.
