Journalists shot, killed in Virginia during live shot

Just watched the video. The reporter's screams will stay in my mind forever.

Two WDBJ journalists dead after shots fired at Bridgewater Plaza, deputies search for gunman

RIP.

 

Holy crap. That's horrific.

 

The camera landing on the ground where you could see blood splatter was pretty haunting too.

 

Someone got a still of the gunman.

 

Jesus, shot dead on live TV. RIP.

May the shooter get what's coming to him.

 

This is the tradeoff we have decided to make.

 

Shut the fuck up. Two colleagues are dead.

 

Yeah, and we'll continue to do shit about it, like we always do. This is who we are. This is America.

 

Livestream from the station ...

And 20 kids were slaughtered. That got us somewhere. That really moved the needle too.

 

I'm certain that the local West Virginia paper will put out an elegantly beautiful front-page tribute, suitable for framing. (And design awards.)

 

Yeah, I'd rather see gun control legislation than another candlelight vigil, too, but I'm more interested in the breaking story aspect of it at this point. The gunman apparently just walked away.
