WDBJ-TV, the CBS affiliate in Roanoke, Va., is using its Facebook page to honor the memory of its two staffers shot and killed this morning on live television.

The station updated its Facebook cover image to read “In Memory” with the names of the slain staffers — Alison Parker and Adam Ward.

Earlier the station tweeted a photo of Parker and Ward accompanied by the simple statement “We love you, Alison and Adam.”
