Rest in Peace, Alison Parker & Adam Ward

As a journalist and reporter, I can not express my heartache enough for these people and their families. I'd just recently decided to be a camera(wo)man because I thought being behind the camera would be far less dangerous than being in front of it.

Its unreal how many female anchors and reporters disappear every year.

But witnessing what happened yesterday morning, it makes me almost fear my line of work. Yes, I know journalism can be a high-risk job, especially internationally, but this is so terrifying. These people did not even report anything wrong. Why target such good people?

And people are trying to make it a race thing. Can we not for once? A sick man killed a reporter and her cameraman. That's all that needs to be said.

People in the journalism field grieve for these these two and their families.

Rest in peace.
