   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."
