Personal Life
Many other journalists and editors in the channel have already started giving condolences to the family including Pierre’s wife and his children. For the moment it is not known how many children he is having and what is the name of his wife. Only one thing is confirmed: Pierre was stuck in the massive shooting in Ukraine because of the invasion of Russians in Ukraine and the ultimate war. The CEO of the Fox News Channel, Scott showed her deep condolences to the family and confirmed Pierre’s wife’s name as Michelle. Pierre Zakrzewski was killed along with another journalist Benjamin Hall, confirmed by the CEO of Fox News Channel, Suzanne Scott.
Cause of Death
She continued that Benjamin Hall was also with Pierre at the time of the attack in Ukraine who was shot in his neck. The news of Pierre Zakrzewski’s death came after two days when another American journalist and former New York Times contributor named Brent Renaud was shot and killed near Irpin while he was with his colleagues and they were heading towards the area out of the region of Kyiv to take the pictures of refugees. Renaud’s other colleague and U.S.-based journalist Juan Arredondo was also wounded at the scene and was immediately taken to the nearby hospital by the Ukrainian rescuers.
Initially, the reports claimed that the journalists Renaud and Arredondo came under Russian fire while approaching the bridge in their car. The condition of Ukraine has become so devastating that even the police officials are remarking their words and saying things like, “Tell America, tell the world, what they did to a journalist.” The condition of the war has frightened everyone in the country and outside the two worlds- Russia and Ukraine.
