In an interview with ABC News, he described how his wife got up and walked to an ambulance after she had been shot unaware of the extent of her injuries.

Flanagan was already fired from his job at the station by the time Parker was hired.
Hurst told CBS that Flanagan’s discrimination claims against WDBJ7 were unfounded: “We need to figure out if there’s anything that can be done in the future to help these people who want to harbor hate in their heart”.
“We are heartbroken at the loss of Adam Ward and Alison Parker, two shining stars in our region”.
