A television reporter and photographer were shot to death on the morning of August 26, 2015, while they were reporting live on air. Reporter Alison Parker, cameraman Adam Ward and a woman whom they were interviewing scrambled to take cover as an unknown gunman, later identified as former WDBJ on-air reporter Bryce Williams (real name Vester Lee Flanagan), opened fire during their live shot. Station management later confirmed Parker and Ward were killed in the shooting. Their coworkers at WDBJ are mourning their loss. This screenshot is a still from the actual interview that Parker (at left) was conducting around 6:45 a.m. and that Ward was filming. Interviewee Vicki Gardner of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce was also injured in the shooting. She had surgery and is recovering. -- Text from AJC/Cox Media Group and WDBJ.com
