Survivor released from hospital after fatal shooting of cameraman, TV reporter in Virginia

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) — The woman who survived an on-air shooting that killed two TV journalists has been released from the hospital, nearly two weeks after the attack.

Vicki Gardner, executive director of the Smith Mountain Lake Chamber of Commerce, was released on Monday from Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, spokesman Chris Turnbull said.

Gardner was answering questions about the community on live TV at the Smith Mountain Lake Visitor Center on Aug. 26 when a gunman walked up and opened fire with a 9mm Glock pistol. Gardner was wounded and WDBJ-TV cameraman Adam Ward and reporter Alison Parker were killed. The gunman, Vester Flanagan, fatally shot himself five hours later after a police chase.
