WDBJ Anchors Stayed On-Air To Remember Their Coworkers

WDBJ - WDBJ7’s Alison Parker and Adam Ward were doing a live report at Bridgewater Plaza on Smith Mountain Lake when they were attacked Wednesday morning. Two WDBJ7 employees were killed Wednesday morning in an attack at Bridgewater Plaza. This happened during a live broadcast around 6:45 a.m. Police are looking for a suspect who apparently opened fire on WDBJ7 photographer Adam Ward and WDBJ7 reporter Alison Parker. Vicki Gardner of the Smith Mountain Lake Regional Chamber of Commerce was also injured in the shooting. She is in surgery. Adam was 27-years-old. Alison just turned 24. Both were from the WDBJ7 viewing area. Adam graduated from Salem High School and Virginia Tech. Alison grew up in Martinsville and attended Patrick Henry Community College and James Madison University.

Just the saddest. Alison lived with another anchor at the station, while Adam was engaged and set to move to Charlotte with his fiance.
