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.

I read that cnn was reporting that the perp just shot himself.

You know what, I just endured a month or more of nonstop talk about Kaitlen Jenner or whatever that creature’s name is when there were always more important things to talk about. This killing is tragic, but I saw the same handful of details repeated for 3 hours straight. Forget Trump. What about the stock market? What about the river in Colorado the EPA just poisoned? What about Iran deal? My point is, unless there is new information, it is pointless to beat something to death, unless you really, really don’t WANT to talk about other issues.
Beck just reported on his radio show that the suspect has shot himself. Nothing more at this time.

Thank you.
I do hope.....that this wont inspire a lot of wanna bes
Well the fact that he was still on the loose was a pretty good piece of information to get out there. Relax. Take a deep breath. There’s more going on in the world than Donald Trump.
BINGO!
he’s now gotten his fifteen minutes...and his just rewards
Vester Lee Flanagan aka Bryce Williams just shot himself on I-66 in Fauquier County, VA.
I certainly hope so. Repeatedly.

From what I’ve seen, the shooter is probably homo.
