Re: Reporter, Cameraman Shot Dead on Live TV in Virginia
Based on the echoing sounds in the film, he followed her under that covered walkway where she was running. His initial shot(s) hit her in the chest, so I would speculate that she ran for a few yards and then collapsed from the bullet wounds in her chest. By that point he'd caught up with her and likely gave her the coup de grace while she was prone and begging for her life; paralyzed with fear and incapacitated by her extant injuries. |

Re: Reporter, Cameraman Shot Dead on Live TV in Virginia
Yep. That's how I 'heard' it as well. Those several shots with the echo indicate that if we ever see crime scene photos it's going to be ugly re: Alison. . |

Re: Reporter, Cameraman Shot Dead on Live TV in Virginia
He was so close that if he knew how to shoot it would have been an easy head shot. But I fear he wanted her to suffer a little before he reached her fallen body to do the head shot to make sure she was dead. He also shot the photographer in the head. You can't stop evil or crazy. All you can do is have good situational awareness and hope that the evil that encounters you gives you enough time to kill it before it kills you. |

Re: Reporter, Cameraman Shot Dead on Live TV in Virginia
We won't. I pretty much assure you. Not outside of an illegal leak. And this country doesn't like leaking victim photos. We may see photos of the dead killer at some point, but not Alison. I already tried to requisition the autopsy reports on both victims for the site, but unfortunately Virginia Code Ann. § 32.1-283.4(A) has an exemption clause (Code Ann. § 32.1-285) that excludes autopsy reports from FOIA requests. If they'd been killed in any of the states where medical examiners' reports are subject to Open Record disclosure, we'd have at least had those. But Virginia locks that shit down. The only way we'll see even the written reports is if the victims' families or law enforcement decide to release them to the media. Highly unlikely, I'm afraid. Most we'll ever see as far as the victims' injuries or circumstances go will be the heavily abridged synopsis that the OotME releases to the papers. |

Re: Reporter, Cameraman Shot Dead on Live TV in Virginia
I read in an article today that the interviewee couldn't see the gunman due to the camera lights. Once the gunman got close, the camera man was between him and the interviewee. She told this to her husband, who did an interview on her behalf since she is still in the hospital after surgery. |

Re: Reporter, Cameraman Shot Dead on Live TV in Virginia
The woman who was being interviewed when a gunman opened fire on a news crew on live television remembers ducking bullets before she was shot in the back, a spokesman for her family told NBC News on Friday. Vicki Gardner, a local tourism official who was being interviewed on the WDBJ morning show in Virginia when the gunman struck, also remembers that at one point his gun jammed or ran out of bullets, said the spokesman, Troy Keaton. "It happened fast, and it was frightening," he said. "She saw Alison shot, Adam also. She was ducking and dodging and ended up on the ground, kind of hunched over, and he shot her in the back." Alison Parker, the reporter who was interviewing Gardner for the station's morning show, and Adam Ward, the cameraman, were killed. The gunman, Vester Flanagan, a disgruntled former reporter for WDBJ, later killed himself. Parker's and Ward's deaths were ruled homicides on Friday. Parker was shot in the head and chest, and Ward was shot in the head and torso, the medical examiner said. Gardner was listed in good condition after surgery. Keaton, who said he was relaying information from Gardner's husband, reported that she is alert and in good spirits and that her memory is vivid. "She has shared with Tim and her family the horror and the tragedy and shock," he said. "She knew when it happened that Adam and Alison were — it was very bad for them. And she is just very thankful that she was able to survive." Source http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/vir...ullets-n417816 |

The husband of on-air shooting survivor Vicki Gardner says his wife lost a kidney and part of her colon, and faces three months of convalescence. I also heard him say in an interview that the bullet grazed her spine. source http://www.wdbj7.com/news/local/husb...alive/34962260 |
