[color="Blue"]Your daughter was killed because of a black not the NRA, GOP, Trump, KKK, Adolf Hitler, Robert E Lee or any White person you might hate.

On the morning of August 26, 2015, WDBJ7 reporter Alison Parker was doing an interview in Moneta, Virginia, when a disgruntled former colleague opened fire, killing Parker and cameraman Adam Ward on live TV.

On the one-year anniversary of Alison's death, her father wrote a scathing op-ed for the New York Daily News, blasting the National Rifle Association, accusing Republican politicians of being in the pocket of the gun lobby, and vowing to do ‘whatever it takes’ to help bring about gun control reform.

'Not a single day goes by that we don't feel the devastation and void in our souls,' Andy Parker writes of daughter’s Alison’s killing. 'It's the new normal for lives that will never be the same.'

The 24-year-old reporter was executed on air along with 27-year-old cameraman by Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, who had been fired from WDBJ.

Flanagan fled and posted video of the attack on social media while also writing about his grudges against Parker and Ward in a Twitter rant.

He also faxed a 23-page manifesto-cum-suicide note to a national news station outlining his motives for the attack, saying he bought the handgun he used following the Charleston Church killings, adding: 'my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them'.

Five hours later, police cornered Flanagan in Fauquier County, Virginia, where he shot himself in an attempt to commit suicide. Flanagan initially survived but later succumbed to his gunshot wound.

A third victim of the shooting, local chamber of commerce director Vicky Gardner, whom Parker was interviewing at the time of the attack, was wounded but survived.

Alison Parker's father writes that the day he got the call that his daughter has been killed, his world was shattered and he, wife Barbara, son Drew and Alison's boyfriend, Chris Hurst, 'became members of a club no one ever wants to join.'
