(AP) — Hundreds of mourners crowded into a church Tuesday to honor Adam Ward, the 27-year-old television cameraman who was slain while filming a live interview. Ward's parents exchanged greetings, hugs and even a few smiles with many of the well over 1,000 mourners, while upbeat music piped softly into the school auditorium. Habeeb was the offensive line coach when Ward played middle school football, was one of his teachers as a high school freshman and was an assistant principal for Ward's final three years of high school. Ward's father, Charles "Buddy" Ward, is a retired guidance counselor at the school, which Adam chose to attend even though he lived in another district. Even when cheering for Ott's alma mater, Penn State, pictures show Ward continued to wear a Virginia Tech hat with a Penn State shirt. Friends said Ward was especially close with his parents, and he and his father were scheduled to cover Salem High football games for WDBJ on Friday night before the shootings occurred.
