The son of a local Cox Communications executive was killed in a plane crash Thursday night near Atlanta.
David Jason Schorr was on board a small RV-7 airplane when the plane crashed into a residential neighborhood. Schorr was killed along with pilot Don Hershall Hall. No one on the ground was injured, and no houses were damaged.
RV-7s typically are experimental or homebuilt aircraft.
Schorr, 40, and Hall, 45, both lived in Cumming, Ga.
Schorr's father, Steve Schorr, is vice president of public and government affairs in Las Vegas for television provider Cox Communications, a position he has held for about two decades. He works as a company liaison to government officials and agencies in Southern Nevada and is involved with several civic and nonprofit groups in the region.
He previously was a television news anchor and is a member of the Nevada Broadcasters Association's Hall of Fame.
Schorr could not immediately be reached for comment.
hearts go out to Steve Schorr and his family
How tragic.
Steve and Family I extend my Sympathy

Why the hell would The Sun be trying to reach Schorr (or any other parent who lost a child) for a comment? What the hell do you think they are going to say?
too rich for public planes?
I went to high school with Dave Schorr and last saw him a couple of years ago. He was a good guy and I'm very sad to hear about the plane crash. He still had a lot of life left to live. My thoughts go out to his wife and 3 kids, as well as his parents, friends, and loved ones.
I too went to high school with David and was very shocked and saddened to read of his passing. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
