Two TV journalists killed in US on-air attack
Two
television journalists were shot and killed in Virginia on Wednesday
morning while conducting a live television interview, WDBJ7 said.
The
incident occurred during a live broadcast in Bedford County, when shots
could be heard, sending the reporter and her source screaming and
ducking for cover.
The station said journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward died in the incident.
Media
reports said Parker and Ward were filming a feature segment for the
morning news programme at Bridgewater Plaza, a shopping and recreation
plaza.
“We do not know the motive, we do not know who the killer is,” Jeff Marks, the station’s General Manager, said on air.
