Two journalists have been shot dead during a live TV report in the US state of Virginia, their employer confirms.

WDBJ7 TV reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were killed during an interview in Moneta, Bedford County, the TV station said.

During the live broadcast, shots could be heard, sending the reporter and the person she was interviewing running.

Police say they are investigating the incident and still searching for the suspect.

The station said the person who was being interviewed survived the attack.

"Alison and Adam died this morning at 06:45 shortly after the shots rang out. We do not know the motive or who the suspect or the killer is," the station's general manager, Jeffrey Marks, announced on air.

It's not the gun laws. I'd much rather hold a weapon on my person for protection. It's ashamed people literally kill people for no reason.

Okay -- I am pretty sure I just heard about several attacks within other countries (or could be attacks).. A lot of America has guns, you don't see everyone killing each other.

Okay so I killed a person? No. Crazy people kill people..

Drugs kill more people in America than guns.

Live here before you make assumptions, because it's all about media.

USA Police love killing people as well. It's all about the media? So you are saying the media are faking the deaths then? Or when there's a shoot out at schools? You don't see shoot outs at schools in the UK and if you do it's very rare compared to the US.

Your laws allow people to have guns with ease.
