Early Wednesday morning, a reporter and a cameraman for WDBJ7 in Roanoke, VA, were shot during a live broadcast at Bridgewater Plaza. Several news outlets reported that the man who killed reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, is believed to be Vester Flanagan, a "disgruntled employee" of the Virginia news station, who, according to CNN, reportedly shot himself [1] when confronted by law enforcement. He died [2] from those self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

In a video of the shooting, Parker is seen interviewing a woman before gunshots ring out, and the camera faces the ground before the broadcast goes back to the anchor desk. Meanwhile, the shooter reportedly filmed the whole thing [3], posting videos on a Twitter account that's since been deactivated.

Soon after the tragic shooting, WDBJ7 tweeted a picture of the pair [4] and wrote, "We love you, Alison and Adam." Parker's boyfriend, who worked at the station with her, also shared a heartbreaking message [5], writing, "Alison Parker and I were very much in love. We just moved in together. I am numb."
