Still considered an active situation.

The shooting reportedly occurred during a live interview by WDBJ-TV, killing reporter Alison Parker, 24, and photographer Adam Ward, 27.

The two were engaged to be married, according to reports.

Just watched the video on YouTube. It's just infuriating. People just doing their job, and the next second they're dead cause some creep decided to kill them.

Sounds like the person they were interviewing is the shooter.

Fox 59 Indy, talking now .....

Sounds like the person they were interviewing is the shooter.

I don't know how. She didn't have anything in her hands and took off running when the shots were fired.

Sounds like the person they were interviewing is the shooter.

That is NOT POSSIBLE, as the shooting started while she was being interviewed.

Unbelievable, I hope they find the person responsible quickly.

The image of the shooter at the end is eerie.

I must have read the story too fast. Thanks for clearing that up.

Looks like the shooter is wearing a restaurant employee's uniform.

My guess is an unemployed thug, just wearing black so that he can commit crimes.

Looks like a glare off the TV. Window blinds maybe

This... Blinds, lampshade, stuff on a desk or table.

The video is very disturbing. Between this and the hit-and-run rampage in Indy this AM, what the hell is the world coming to?

Alison and Adam were a great team and traveled all around to get the news out to people. They did more before 6am than most people do all day. They were good at what they did and always searched out good news to report, rather than the issues that make the prime time. They interviewed me for last year's MLK celebration here on campus and were probably coming to cover the opening of our student veterans lounge on Friday. They were so young and had so many plans. They were funny, too. I guess you have to be when you have to be out of bed at 3am every day. This is just sad.

Interview subject believed to be uninjured. Shooter possibly a jealous, obsessed fan of the reporter? Hopefully the shooter will be taken alive and his motive will be revealed, then throw him to capital punishment.
