Sad and crazy world we live in.  Rip to the victims

the woman being interviewed was also shot in the back.




(CNN)WDBJ reporter Alison Parker was interviewing a woman about a local story out of Franklin County, Virginia, at approximately 6:45 a.m. Wednesday when the shots rang out and both women screamed.




As the camera fell to the ground, the audience got the briefest glimpse of a man who appeared to pointing a gun toward the downed cameraman.



The station cut away to a shocked anchor, Kimberly McBroom, back in the studio.



The reporter, Alison Parker, 24, and photographer Adam Ward, 27, were both killed in the shpoting at Bridgewater Plaza near Moneta, the station reported later.



The gunman is believed to have fired six or seven times, WDBJ General Manager Jeff Marks said.



"We do not know the motive. We do not know who the killer is," Marks said. "We do know the Franklin County sheriff ... they are working very diligently to track down both the motive and the person responsible for this terrible crime against two fine journalists," he said during the station's coverage of the shooting.



The station does not believe that the interview subject was injured, Marks said.



"Our hearts are broken," Marks said on air, explaining that Parker's and Ward's colleagues are "holding back tears."



McBroom described Parker as a "rock star" and said, "You throw anything at that girl and she could do it."



Another journalist at the anchor's desk said Ward was engaged to be married to morning show producer at WDBJ and Ward recently told her, "I'm going to get out of news. I think I'm going to do something else."



Parker is the morning reporter for the Roanoke station and a native of Virginia, having spent most of her life outside Martinsville. She started with WDBJ as an intern, her biography on the station's website says.



She previously worked with another CNN affiliate, WCTI, in Jacksonville, North Carolina, near Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.



She is a graduate of James Madison University's School of Media Arts and Design in Harrisonburg.



CNN's Jason Hanna, Ashley Fantz and Mariano Castillo contributed to this report.

No, im talking about the preferential treatment some killers get in the media. I know this man won't get it and they'll probably drag his family into it. Hopefully they don't but American media is American media

I just want the media to ask the family the same disrespectful questions they asked the families of the charleston shooter.

"Do you forgive him?"

Feeling sorry for his family is baiting? If so then maybe you need to check yourself. LITERALLY

CNN making a good point, this is both an amazing time to be alive and a terrifying insane time to be alive.
