Via RT…
WDBJ confirmed that reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were killed in the shooting
DBJ’s general manager also appeared live on air to deliver the news.
“It’s my very, very sad duty to report…that Alison and Adam died this morning,” the manager said.
Video from the scene shows the crew being attacked in the middle of a live report at Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta, Virginia.
A reporter was interviewing a woman at the shopping center when the gunman walked into view, firing what sounded to be at least six shots.
The scene quickly cut back to a stunned anchorwoman who said, “OK, not sure what happened there. We will of course let you know as soon as we find out what those sounds were.”
Police are looking for the shooter and hope to soon release a description of the individual to the public.
Nearby Bedford County schools are currently on lockdown as police search for the shooter, ABC 13 reported. The Virginia Department of Transportation has reported a high-priority situation, announcing the closure of Route 122 in the area.
WDBJ is a CBS-affiliated local television station serving the cities of Roanoke and Lynchburg.
