The community is mourning the shooting death of Christina Chambers, a beloved veteran broadcaster killed in a murder-suicide at her Hoover home. Authorities believe her husband, 41-year-old Johnny Rimes Jr., shot Chambers and then himself. Their toddler son was found unharmed inside the home. Rimes’ parents made the tragic discovery when Chambers, Rimes and their son failed to show up for a Christmas program at Prince of Peace Catholic School. Chambers joined WBRC Fox 6 in November 2015, and at the time had more than five years of experience covering the SEC, ACC, C-USA, and high school sports throughout Alabama and Georgia. She taught broadcast journalism at Thompson High School from 2021 to early 2025 and was awarded 2024 Advisor of the Year by the Alabama Scholastic Press Association.
