A cousin, Guynell Smith, 69, who was stopping by Flanagan’s father’s home in Vallejo, Calif., told reporters the family was unaware of any troubles.

We are also grateful for the overwhelming love shown by you in support of Vicki these last few days”. Kaine. And I have not heard a word from Sen.

Andy Parker, meeting with reporters in a the TV station parking lot after visiting with his daughter’s colleagues at WDBJ, described Alison as a “force of nature”.

WDBJ cameraman Trevor Fair recalled others using the term “field” around Flanagan: “We would say stuff like, “The reporter’s out in the field.’ And he would look at us and say, ‘What are you saying, ‘cotton fields”?” “They campaigned for me when I ran for the House of Delegates”. Sens. Tim Kaine (D) and Mark Warner (D), however, have not.

The unexpected complaint surprised Kaine’s staff members, who quickly issued a statement explaining why Kaine, who was on official travel in Alaska when the shooting occurred, had not called Parker. The bright lights of Ward’s camera equipment stopped Gardner from seeing the approaching gunman, her husband said.

Our thoughts and prayers continued to be with all those affected by this tragedy.

“What we know is that the number of people who die from gun-related incidents in this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism”, Obama said.

After reading the statement, Bowman added that the family is requesting privacy at this time and will not be answering questions from the media.

U.S. Press Secretary Josh Earnest called upon Congress to pass more stringent laws against gun violence.

“I think they had very little notice and were not even aware”, Zuber said. “Stand up. Take a stand. And do something”, Parker said.

Tim Gardner was speaking about his wife Vicki telling him Thursday, after she awoke from a medically induced coma, that she saw Alison Parker and Adam Ward get shot and killed, and then she was shot.
