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.
