(NEW YORK TIMES) The Virginia television reporter and cameraman whose murder on live television has renewed a national debate over gun violence both suffered gunshot wounds to the head, the state Office of the Chief Medical examiner in Roanoke said Friday.

The reporter, Alison Parker, 24, died of “gunshot wounds of the head and chest” and the cameraman, Adam Ward, 27, died of “gunshot wounds of head and torso,” the medical examiner said.

Ms. Parker and Mr. Ward were killed by a disgruntled former colleague while conducting an on-air interview about tourism outside Roanoke, where their station, WDBJ, is based.
