A reporter for the Virginian-Pilot was shot and killed Saturday morning outside of a restaurant. Another person was killed and three others were injured during the shooting, CNN reports.
An editor at the newspaper called Sierra Jenkins, 25, who was scheduled to cover breaking news that Saturday, but later learned the reporter was one of the victims.
“When he didn’t hear back, we called in another reporter,” Virginian-Pilot editor-in-chief Kris Worrell said, according to CNN. “In reporting the story of the shooting, we discovered that Sierra was one of the victims.”
