Shocking: An undated handout photo of reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, who were fatally shot at close range while conducting an on-air interview for WDBJ in Roanoke, southwest of Washington, DC. A 56-second video clip of the attack, apparently filmed by the gunman, went viral before it was removed from social media sites.

SAN FRANCISCO: It almost looked like a first-person shooter videogame: A handgun in a man’s grasp comes into view. A woman appears in the gunman’s sights. Shots are fired. 

But this was no game. It was the chilling video by a killer of him stalking his prey – two television journalists live on-air for a station in Virginia that fired him for erratic behaviour in 2013.
