A reporter and her cameraman were just shot live on tv. The video doesn't show them getting hit but that's crazy.

Holy crap.
WTF 
On CBS and CNN
Not a hoax.
Yep it's the real deal. If you watch carefully you can see the shooter on the left for a few frames. He's wearing all black, light-ish skin, that's all you can see.
The woman on the left and the guy who was filming were killed.
Oh, cheez. What's the story? Any info yet?
Just mentioned on BBC. Shooter at large and being sought.
WTF?
I'm assuming it was a hit?
Here's the best view you can get of the shooter. Looks like he's bald.
Edit: Higher-res pic. Easier to see in frame-by-frame playback, it's a Bruce Willis-looking guy.
The interviewee was not harmed? That is either really lucky or someone was just after the news crew.

She was hit once in the back, in surgery now.
My guess is someone who hates the biased mainstream media. I hope I'm wrong.
I think it was either a hit/stalker or some total loon just out to kill at random. Someone looking to kill reporters specifically would have a really hard time figuring out where one is going to show up (especially to something boring like this), while you can easily find out where their offices are.
another image from the video. It's down in SW Va, Alison Parker 24 year old reporter, Adam Ward 27 year old camera man killed, Vicki Gardner, the local chamber of commerce director (being interviewed in surgery now). Some reports have references to how both were in relationships with other members of the station staff (Ward engaged to a producer who was going to be celebrating their last day today; Parker dating a night anchor).
I wonder if this is going to change what goes out "live". My brother brought up the point that kids were watching the morning tv while getting ready for school when this happened. We had warning about what we were about to see, I imagine it was pretty traumatic live.
I doubt it, far worse stuff than this has gone out live already.
Well, that's frightening.

In theory, they have a 7 second delay to make sure that the stations are able to mask obscene things- like swearing and nudity. How this would be not covered by that would be a big mystery.
it reeks of stalker/ex
What is wrong with people....seriously.

I see your obscure reference and raise you an image!
FWIW, It looks like a security guard or police uniform in the 1st pic.

Suspect may be a disgruntled former employee.
What. The. berkeley. Is. Wrong. With. People.
So there should be a live feed for this car chase available pretty soon...
State police are in pursuit of the suspect on Interstate 64 in a 2004 Silver Ford Mustang with license plate WZE-8846, former employee known to both victims
