This is so incredibly sad.
The news anchor Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward who were shot and killed by a disgruntled former employee of the news station were both romantically involved with coworkers.
Ward was engaged to a producer at the station, Melissa Ott, and today was actually going to be his last day on the job as the couple planned to move to Charlotte.

She was the most radiant woman I ever met. And for some reason she loved me back. She loved her family, her parents and her brother.

I am comforted by everyone at @WDBJ7. We are a family. She worked with Adam every day. They were a team. I am heartbroken for his fiancee.

This is so incredibly tragic. We can’t imagine what their loved ones are going through but our hearts are with them during this difficult time.
