In Virginia two journalists killed by a gunman while broadcasting and killer shot them in the head. They are Alison Parker and Adam Ward. Alison Parker, 24, died of “gunshot wounds of the head and chest,” and the cameraman, Adam Ward, 27, died of “gunshot wounds of head and torso,”. Reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were killed by a disgruntled former colleague while broadcasting an on-air interviewing Vicki Gardner about tourism outside Roanoke, where their station, WDBJ, is based.
Alison Parker's father says he will need to buy gun to defend himself and he is also campaigning for gun control, says he will have to get a firearm because ‘a lot of people take exception’ to his views.
Virginia shooting victim's father says “I want to go to the Virginia legislature and I want them to look me in the eye and tell me why we can’t have a reasonable proposal, any reasonable background checks, the things common sense dictates,” Parker said. “I want them to look me in the eye and tell me why they won’t support that.”
Ms Gardner is now in a good condition at a hospital. Her husband said: “Gunman shot three times at my wife and she was trying to dodge everything, he missed twice and then she dove to the ground and curled up in a ball, and that’s when he walked over and shot her in the back.”
