“He loved the community, telling the stories of people, reporting on the news, and he was just passionate about what he did.” He loved what he did,” said Spectrum Sports 360 reporter and friend, Josh Miller. In a story published early Thursday, the station identified Lyons and Walden. And while you’re at it, please say a prayer for every victim of gun violence in this country,” Spectrum 13 journalist Celeste Springer said during her live on-air report Wednesday evening. “Please, please, say a prayer tonight for our co-worker who is in critical condition. “Our hearts go out to the family of the journalist killed today and the crew member injured in Orange County, Florida, as well as the whole Spectrum News team,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Twitter. Moses’ criminal history includes gun charges, as well as aggravated battery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and grand theft offenses, the sheriff said. Mina said Moses has already been charged with first-degree murder for the initial victim, and charges are expected soon for the other four victims. WFTV crews, who were also reporting on the morning shooting, tried to give medical aid to the Spectrum 13 journalists. Lyons and Walden were shot hours later while covering that shooting, followed by the mother and daughter, according to police and witnesses. On Wednesday morning, deputies responded to the Pine Hills area, just northwest of Orlando, after reports that a woman in her 20s was shot. “No one in our community - not a mother, not a 9-year-old and certainly not news professionals - should become the victim of gun violence in our community.”
NEWS REPORTER AND HER CAMERAMAN FULL
“I want to acknowledge what a horrible day this has been for our community and our media partners,” Mina told a room full of reporters. It was not immediately known whether Moses has a lawyer who could speak on his behalf. He said it was not clear if Moses knew that two of the people shot were journalists and noted their vehicle didn’t look like a typical news van or have the station’s logo on it.
He said Moses was an acquainted with the first victim but did not appear to have a connection with any of the others.
Mina said police didn’t immediately know the motive for the shootings. WHYY thanks our sponsors - become a WHYY sponsor
