“We’ve lost two members of our family.”
The WDBJ7 team in Roanoke, Virginia continued to broadcast following the deaths of reporter Alison Parker and photographer Adam Ward during a live broadcast around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday morning and picked up their newscast just before noon.
The team remembered Parker and Ward as hard workers and good people.
We love you, Alison and Adam. pic.twitter.com/hLSzQi06XE

You can watch the live stream here.
The station where two journalists were killed is putting on an incredible broadcast now. Both were clearly very loved http://t.co/lSf5pb23Sh

This is what professional journalism looks like. @WDBJ7 live stream shows staff covering death of their own. http://t.co/y2rwyYmszq

I don't know how the folks at WDBJ7 are keeping it together right now, but they all must have some serious steel http://t.co/nlsLkKx0v4
