A news crew for a CBS affiliate in Virginia was gunned down during a live report near the Bedford County-Franklin County line in Moneta early Wednesday morning, law enforcement officials said.
Police and emergency services were on the scene, which remains active. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is also involved in the investigation.
WDBJ7 reporter Allison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were killed by an unidentified assailant who approached the pair as they were filming an interview at the Bridgewater Plaza and fired in their direction as many as eight times.
Footage of the shooting aired live during the channel’s morning news broadcast.
Vicki Gardner, the director of the local chamber of commerce who was being interviewed by the two journalists at the time of the shooting, was shot in the back and is in surgery, according to the Roanoke Times.
Reports from Virginia indicated police were in pursuit of a suspect, who was being chased in a car driving north on I-81.
Reports from WTOP and other outlets said that Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and state authorities believe the shooter may have been a disgruntled former employee of the station.
Screen shots from Ward's camera revealed images of the suspected gunman and were being widely circulated in the media.

There’s a video here that looks like it was shot by the shooter.
The perp’s Twitter feed was suspended but before it was it mentioned an EEOC complaint against the News Station for not getting the job instead of the woman who was shot.
Suspect is Bryce Williams.
The feed had lots of selfies, some him in his underwear or thongs, and his “sexy bedroom” (which just looked like an ordinary bedroom) and he seemed very full of himself. Tons of pics of himself as a child and boasting about his rather mundane accomplishments.

Always more than meets the eye after a little digging.
Yep... obviously craved attention. Waited until the reporter went on live before he started shooting (so he could get the most attention). Add in social media and perpetual victim hood and the guy is the personification of Obama's America.
reality TV ...never more real

What is wrong with you? Two people were gunned down in cold blood. The whole thing was filmed. The killer started tweeting about it, and put the footage of the killing on facebook. And you’re talking about Donald Trump? You know, the world can absorb more than one news story at once.
I predict the cops will have to shoot this sob
