Two US journalists have been shot dead during a live TV report in Virginia. WDBJ7 TV reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were killed during an interview in the town of Moneta, the TV station said. A man, apparently a disgruntled former employee of the TV station, uploaded a video of himself shooting the reporter at close range on social media. US media reports say he has subsequently shot himself - but is still alive.   BBC
