The CBS news station WDBJ has confirmed that reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward have both died died while Vicki Gardner a local chamber of commerce director whom they were interviewing was shot in the back and has had to be wheeled in for emergency surgery.

Ward was 27 while Parker was only 24.  Police authorities are said to be on a man hunt for the gunman.

Sad!
