Dan T. Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 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.

RVAbrendan Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Watched the video. Horrifying. So sad. If you want to get riled up this early in the morning, go ahead and read the comments on the facebook news articles. I hate social media sometimes.

ixcuincle Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 What pisses me off and drives me to tears is the youth involved. The woman was so young. 24. She was about to be married to the weatherman there. Reading his tweets you couldn't hold back tears. "They were the happiest months of my life." Just reading this, you ask why this perpetrator decided to ruin two lives like this. Why ruin two lives with so much potential? Just absolutely saddening.

zoony Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Here is the murderer. What is that, body armor? It is sort of transluscent at the bottom, wonder if it is a reflection. That is just an amazingly chilling image. Hug your loved ones everyone. It can all be over in a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I never had any inkling, no curiosity to watch it. I don't know why you'd watch. I don't know why cnn would put it up. As a TV news station you don't show people dying on TV. You don't show isis beheadings. Why is this different? I can't watch that **** man. I'd throw up.
