I just went and looked at her Twitter feed. The "love of her life" was another reporter, Chris Hurst. So, either the news is wrong about the romantic ties between her and the cameraman, or there's more to the story. Possible motive? |

There have been reports of a guy going around impersonating a police officer recently. His description seems accurate to the screen grab from the shooting. http://www.thefranklinnewspost.com/news/deputies-search-for-police-impersonator/article_0055ff64-4b5a-11e5-ad6b-6771ad7d10cb.html You know, I thought the same thing when I looked at that screen grab. The guy was dressed up in some sort of garb that looked like a police uniform. And it might just be the lighting, but it also looks like he's wearing something like a duty belt with items attached. Look right underneath his left hand. |

General manager of the station says he doesn't believe the woman being interviewed was injured.
The gunman is believed to have fired six or seven times, WDBJ General Manager Jeff Marks said. The station does not believe that the interview subject was injured, Marks said. http://fox6now.com/2015/08/26/va-reporter-photographer-killed-during-live-news-interview/ |

This makes it seem that they were not engaged to each other.
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/crime/article32418297.html Ward had been a photojournalist at WDBJ since 2011, according to his LinkedIn profile. But he reportedly was planning to move to Charlotte soon to be with his fiance, a WDBJ staffer said Wednesday during a broadcast. |

I agree. it was a human interest story instead of breaking news, so gunman would have to know they would be there. He followed them or happened upon them by chance. I put it 80% chance it's domestic related. |
