    涉嫌枪手已经因为枪伤死亡。有关人士表示,他在高速公路上遭遇警方之后开枪自杀。犯罪嫌疑人韦斯特·弗拉尼根(Vester Flanagan)是WDBJ电视台前员工。

    A gunman opened fire on an American television news crew during a ‘live' television broadcast Wednesday morning. Two people died in the attack. They were identified as 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and her cameraman, 27-year-old Adam Ward.
    周三上午在一档电视直播节目中,一名枪手向美国电视新闻工作人员开火。这次袭击导致两人遇难。遇难者被确认为24岁的记者艾莉森·帕克和她的摄影师亚当·沃德。

    Television station WDBJ says they were attacked in South Mountain Lake, near the city of Roanoke in southwestern Virginia. Ms. Parker was questioning a local business leader when the gunman began shooting. The businesswoman was shot in the back, but survived.
    WDBJ电视台表示,他们是在弗吉尼亚州西南部城市罗阿诺克附近的南山湖遭遇袭击。枪手开枪时,帕克女士正在采访当地一位商界领袖。这名商人背部中弹但是幸免于难。

    The camera caught images of the suspected gunman. They show a man wearing dark clothing.
    摄像机拍下了涉嫌枪手的图像。图像显示枪手身着深色衣服。


    Police launched a search for the suspect, who fled the area. He was identified as Vester Flanigan, a former employee of the television station where the two victims had worked.
    警方对逃离该地区的嫌犯展开了搜捕。嫌犯被确定为弗拉尼根,他是两名遇难者所在电视台的一位前雇员。

    Officials say the suspect shot himself when police found him on a road outside Washington, D.C. He was at first reported to have died. But it was learned later that he survived his own gunshot and was taken to a hospital in "very critical condition."
    有关官员表示,当警方在华盛顿特区外的一条道路上发现嫌犯时,嫌犯开枪自杀。最初报道他已经死亡。但是后来得知他从枪伤中活了下来,并被送到一所医院,病情十分危急。

    Vester Flanigan also was known as Bryce Williams. Two social media accounts linked to that name were used after the shooting to publicize images from the attack.
    弗拉尼根又被称为布莱斯·威廉姆斯。以这个名字开设的两个社交媒体账户在枪击后被用于发布袭击的图片。

    The shooting happened early Wednesday as the television station was broadcasting a ‘live' video feed from the news crew. Another reporter for the station said, "We have no idea what happened, they were out covering a feature story - they were not covering protests or demonstrations.”
    这起枪击事件发生在周三早间,当时该电视台正在播放新闻工作人员提供的现场视频。该电视台另一位记者表示,“我们不知道发生了什么。他们当时正在做一个专题报道,而不是有关抗议或示威的报道。”

    The general manager of WDBJ, Jeffrey Marks, appeared during the broadcast after the attack. "We heard screaming," he said. "We heard nothing. And then the camera fell."
    WDBJ电视台总经理杰弗里·马克斯在袭击之后现身该台播出的节目。他说,“我们听到尖叫,然后就再无声息,然而摄像机就摔落在地。”

    The shooting took place about 190 kilometers from Virginia's capital, Richmond.
    这起枪击事件发生地距离弗吉尼亚州首府里士满大约190公里。
