Alison Parker and Adam Ward were an ambitious reporter and 
cameraman team at a Virginia television station who often filmed 
light and breezy feature stories for the morning news show.

On Wednesday at about 6:45 a.m. ET (1045 GMT), it was business 
as usual for the two journalists with Roanoke, Virginia-based 
CBS affiliate WDBJ7, who were conducting a live interview about 
a local lake until gunfire rang out.

Parker, 24, and Ward, 27, were shot and killed on-air, their 
final screams broadcast live from Bridgewater Plaza, a 
recreation site with restaurants and shopping. The shooting 
suspect was a former or current employee of the station, 
authorities said.

"I cannot tell you how much they were loved," WDBJ General 
Manager Jeff Marks said about Parker and Ward during a somber 
broadcast. Station employees could be heard crying in the 
background.

"These two were more than what you saw here on TV, they were 
much, much more," anchor woman Kimberly McBroom said.

Parker and Ward were Virginia natives. Parker graduated from 
Martinsville High School and attended James Madison University, 
where she excelled academically. She started at WDBJ as an 
intern about four years ago, left for a spell, then returned.

She was known by coworkers as bubbly, smart and excelling 
quickly at her job, working her way up to full-time reporter and 
substitute anchor by her early 20s. When fellow employees 
suffered personal hardships, she would console them, bring food 
or flowers to their door, they said.

Ward went to Salem High School and Virginia Polytechnic 
Institute and State University. He was a devoted fan of Virginia 
Tech sports teams and always had a smile on his face, coworkers 
said.

Both were engaged to be married to people who worked at the news 
station.

"I AM NUMB"

Parker was engaged to WDBJ anchor Chris Hurst.

"She was the most radiant woman I ever met," Hurst wrote on 
Twitter after the death of his fiance, whom he had dated for 
nine months and was living with. "I am numb."

Hurst said Parker and Ward worked together ever day and "were a 
team."

Ward was engaged to morning WDBJ producer, Melissa Ott, who was 
leaving the station for a job in Charlotte, North Carolina, 
Marks said. Ward was moving with her.

There was cake and balloons in the newsroom on Wednesday morning 
celebrating the move and the couple's engagement, said anchor 
Kimberly McBroom.

Ward recently told coworkers he intended to leave the news 
business when he left for Charlotte.

Ward's personal Facebook page is decorated with images of him 
and Ott, including his marriage proposal to her.

Parker's page is filled with images of pets, outdoor activities 
and other outings where she poses with her new fiance.

"There were a lot of good things happening for Adam," McBroom 
said, choking back tears. "And Alison, wow, she was just a rock 
star."
