Some very sad news out of Virginia, where Virginian-Pilot Reporter Sierra Jenkins was shot and killed.

Jenkins was not working and was coming out of an establishment in Norfolk, when she was caught in the crossfire of an altercation that turned into a shooting.

“Sierra was a bright and talented woman with so much going for her. Her passion for journalism was undeniable and our community is better because of her reporting,” said Kris Worrell, editor-in-chief of Virginia Media, which operates The Virginian-Pilot and several other newspapers. “Sierra was funny and energetic and full of enthusiasm. We are absolutely heartbroken.”

Jenkins was just 25-years-old.
