Virginia Tech honoring slain journalists with helmet stickers

Last Wednesday was the tragic day when two journalists were shot and killed doing their job in Virginia. Reporter Allison Parker and photojournalist Adam Ward were murdered by a former co-worker while doing a live shot for their station, WDBJ. The station serves as the CBS affiliate for the Roanoke, Virginia area … which includes the campus of Virginia Tech, where Ward graduated from.

The school is planning to honor both journalists with a helmet sticker to be worn during games this season:

The Hokies will wear a helmet sticker vs OSU in memory of @WDBJ7's Alison Parker & Adam Ward.
