American Mainstream: Suicide on Live TV *EXTREMELY GRAPHIC*

Via Media Bistro:

A man committed suicide live on Fox News a few minutes ago. FNC had been carrying a car chase in the Phoenix area and when the suspect pulled over, he ran down a dirt road, then stopped, put a gun to his head, and fell to the ground. No other national networks were carrying the chase.

When the man first exited the car, anchor Shepard Smith said presciently  ”You wait for the end of these things and you worry how they may end.” Viewers could hear Studio B crew members, who were watching a live feed of what was happening, gasp and Smith say, “Get off, get off, get off,” asking the control room to cut away. But they didn’t in time.

The car chase reportedly began after the man shown in the video below carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint.

Videos of the event were quickly removed from Youtube within minutes of posting. The following video has been made available by LiveLeak.com.
