Tributes Pour In Following Death of Fox News Cameraman

Tributes poured in on Twitter following Fox News announcing on Tuesday the death of one of its cameramen, Pierre Zakrzewski, who was killed outside of Kyiv in Ukraine in the same attack that wounded correspondent Benjamin Hall.

Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott announced the tragic news in a note to colleagues. She said Zakrzewski and Hall were reporting in the village of Horenka when “their vehicle was struck by incoming fire.”

I don’t know what to say. Pierre was as good as they come. Selfless. Brave. Passionate. I’m so sorry this happened to you. pic.twitter.com/IvxlPWGDAl

There are no words. I had the great privilege of working with Pierre and the even greater privilege of calling him a friend. An extraordinary spirit and tremendous talent and one of the kindest, most gracious colleagues on the road. Absolutely heartbreaking. https://t.co/KmScUCcAwd

Devastating news of American deaths in Ukraine: journalist Brent Renaud and Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski.

An entire nation grieves with their families.

We also pray for the recovery of Fox News’ Benjamin Hall, who suffered serious injuries while covering the war.

Gut wrenching. News photographers are there to bear witness and show the world what’s really happening, and in this case in a war zone. My heart breaks for Pierre, his family, and his colleagues who adored him. https://t.co/r7sOt3UklE

Amid the thoughts and prayers, a tweet by New Yorker staff writer and CNN global affairs analyst Susan Glasser took a shot at Fox News, referring to Tucker Carlson, who has echoed pro-Russian sentiment, while paying tribute to Zakrzewski. Twitter users slammed her for her

So grateful for the heroic work that Pierre and all the journalists, Ukrainian and foreign, have been doing risking their lives to show us the horror of this war. Makes the years of lies and propaganda so much harder to take—there are truly deadly consequences.

Our hearts are with the families, friends & colleagues of cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and producer Oleksandra Kurshinova who lost their lives covering the war in Ukraine for Fox. To @BenjaminhallFNC, CNN stands with you and your loved ones. We pledge any support we can provide.
