TV News Shootings: WDBJ-TV7 Remembers Alison, Adam


On Thursday, one day after the deaths shocked millions across the country, the grieving staff at WDBJ-TV7 in Roanoke, VA. came together for an emotional broadcast of its "Mornin' " show. At 6:45 a.m. — the time of the shooting that took the lives of reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward — the station observed a moment of silence, showing the victim's photos on the screens.



Anchor Kim McBroom, who was on the anchor desk during Wednesday's shooting and tried to reassure viewers immediately after the attack was broadcast, joined hands with weatherman Leo Hirsbrunner and fellow anchor Steve Grant, who came in from sister station KYTV in Springfield, Missouri.
