Pierre Zakrzewski, a camera operator for Fox News Channel, was killed in Ukraine Monday, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott told employees Tuesday. He was 55 years old, APA reports citing Holywood Reporter.
Zakrzewski was reporting in Horenka, outside of Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, with correspondent Benjamin Hall when their vehicle was struck by incoming fire. Hall was injured in the attack, and according to Scott remains hospitalized in Ukraine.
“Pierre was a war zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for Fox News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria during his long tenure with us. His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched,” Scott wrote in her memo. “Based in London, Pierre had been working in Ukraine since February. His talents were vast and there wasn’t a role that he didn’t jump in to help with in the field — From photographer to engineer to editor to producer — and he did it all under immense pressure with tremendous skill. He was profoundly committed to telling the story and his bravery, professionalism and work ethic were renowned among journalists at every media outlet. He was wildly popular — everyone in the media industry who has covered a foreign story knew and respected Pierre.”
