Virginia TV reporter, photographer killed in shooting during live interview
(CNN) - An apparently routine live TV interview went horribly wrong in Virginia on Wednesday morning.
Two WDBJ employees were shot to death while reporting on a feature story Wednesday morning, the CNN affiliate in Virginia reported. They were reporter Alison Parker and photographer Adam Ward, the station said. The crew from WDBJ was involved in the shooting during a live interview at Bridgewater Plaza near Moneta. The gunman is believed to have fired six or seven times, WDBJ General Manager Jeff Marks said. The station does not believe that the interview subject was injured, Marks said. Video circulated on social media showed a WDBJ reporter scream as what appeared to be gunshots were fired. -- https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10156061073550093 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. Virginia TV crew involved in shooting on live TV - CNN.com

Perp will either die in a police shootout or in prison. No chance he ever sees the light of day after this chase ends.

Theme song for our times. I fear for our future.
What the Hell is Goin' On? Robbin' and shootin' and rapin' and killin' Bloody murder, molestin', runnin' airplane into buildings Everytime I turn around somethin' else is goin' wrong Hey please, tell me, what the hell is goin' on? Scared to read my paper, can't watch T.V. The world's gettin' way to crazy for me Everytime I turn around another poor child is gone Hey hey people, what the hell is goin' on? Keep your doors all locked up real tight Don't let your children get outta your sight Oh boy, the good old days are gone Oh somebody please tell me, what the hell is goin' on? (Sorry about the ad)

Holy hell- they took down the link you had above, but I found it elsewhere. Dude, he had the gun pointed at her, and then put it down and waited another 10 seconds or so... somehow nobody noticed any of this until the shooting started.
