It happened at Smith Mountain Lake here in Va, the Roanoke CBS affiliate was live on scene doing a real estate piece.
Then out of nowhere the reporter started screaming, there we're five or six shots, the camera went down and then everything went black.
i just checked out the website and this what they have up...
WDBJ 7
ETA- it has been confirmed that both the reporter, Alison Parker, and the cameraman, Adam Ward, we're killed during the shooting
prayers for the friends and family during this terrible time

Damn...that's crazy. Wonder if they will re-air the shooting footage. Probably will get picked up by major networks if hasn't already...

Saw it on Old Row's Twitter page. You can actually see the shooter about 5 feet away on the screen as the camera drops to the ground. Unreal.

Reports of 2 dead, one injured.
The last shot of the shooter looks like he was dead aiming at the cameraman. I hope the other fatality is the shooter.
