Christina Chambers, a former Alabama sports reporter, and her husband were found dead inside their home on Tuesday, December 16 according to WBRC, one of her former employers.
A 3-year-old child at the home was found unharmed.
Hoover Police reported that both Christina and her husband suffered gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene by medics.
In a press release, the Hoover Police Department said, “Although the investigation is in its early stages, it appears these deaths are the result of a murder/suicide and there is no threat to the public related to this case.”
WBRC anchor Jeh Jeh Pruitt remembered Chambers fondly, saying, “She was one of the sweetest, most loving people that I know. She was relentless with running, loving her son, and loving life. I am glad I got a chance to hug and tell her I love her a week ago at the Super 7. I am so sorry for her family, the Chambers and Thompson Families, and her WBRC Family.”
Alabaster City Schools, where Chambers served as director of the Broadcasting Academy, released a statement that read, “We are deeply saddened by the passing of our former employee, Christina Chambers.”
“In this role, she led THS TV, sharing her extensive television experience with our students. Christina also used her talents on the sidelines, with live reporting for the Warrior Nation Network on many Friday nights. Our thoughts and prayers are with Christina’s family and all of those impacted by this tragic loss,” the statement concluded.
Chambers most recently worked in the Corporate Communications department at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.
Sophie Martin, Director of Corporate Communications and Community Relations, shared, “We are deeply saddened by this horrific tragedy, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to Christina’s family during this extremely difficult time. She was a cherished colleague whose warmth and loving personality touched everyone she worked with. Christina was a source of joy and inspiration to our team and company — she will be greatly missed.”
The investigation is still ongoing.
