10 Years Ago...

It’s hard to believe that it has been a decade since WDBJ Reporter Alison Parker and Photojournalist Adam Ward were murdered while doing a live shot.

The pair were gunned down by a former employee of the station.

“You know, it never gets any easier, really. You know, she was my light. She was the light in my life. And I felt like when she was killed, the light went out. But we've come to to discover, I think, that through our efforts, and really because of who she was, because her spirit and her light really resonated with people, and it still does," Alison’s father Andy said.

"She has inspired even 10 years after her death. She's inspired so many young journalists, young reporters. Young people, that, because of the foundation that we started to expose kids to the arts, that never probably would have had an opportunity to see things like the Shakespeare Festival. A lot of good things that have come as a byproduct of something terrible. Well, just how kind and generous and thoughtful, and how talented she was and how she does still inspire again to this day, she inspires people, and that makes me feel really good," Andy said.

There pair were doing a live interview with Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Vicki Gardner. Gardner was also shot, but survived.
