24-year-old news
reporter Alison Parker and 27-year-old photojournalist
Adam Ward, both of Roanoke, Virginia, CBS
affiliate WDBJ, were
conducting a live television interview near Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta, Virginia,
when they were murdered by a gunman.[3] The
person being interviewed, Vicki Gardner of the Smith
Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce,[1] was shot
in the back during the attack but survived. Parker and Ward died at the scene.
They are the seventh and eighth journalists to be killed while in the line of
work in the U.S. since 1992.
The assailant was
later confirmed to be Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as Bryce Williams, a
former reporter at WDBJ.[5][6][7][8] After a
manhunt and car chase, Flanagan died from multiple self-inflicted gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead
at a hospital at approximately 1:32 p.m. (EDT).
