A disgruntled employee at a small Virginia news station is believed to be behind a deadly early morning shooting that was caught on live TV.
The unidentified gunman shot dead reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward as the two were conducting a live interview with Vicki Gardner, the local chamber of commerce director, at 6:45am.
Suddenly eight shots ring out and screams are heard as the women duck down and the camera falls to the floor. The camera is still running as a person dressed in all black appears and aims a gun at Ward.
Parker, 24, and Ward, 27, died at the scene while Gardner was rushed to Roanoke Memorial Hospital for emergency surgery.
Police have yet to identify the suspect but they say they know the person's name and are reportedly chasing the shooter on Interstate 64. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe says the gunman is believed to be a 'disgruntled employee' of the station and they hope to have him in custody in the next hour.
