There was a car-jacking in Phoenix, Arizona this afternoon that resulted in a more than hour-long police chase. And it didn’t end well; the suspect blew his brains out — and Fox News accidentally aired the apparent suicide live on national television at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Buzzfeed was quick to post video of the newsroom SNAFU on its website.
The shooting was followed by a lengthy apology from host Shepard Smith (which isn’t shown in the Buzzfeed video), who ended the broadcast noticeably annoyed.
See the video below — it’s tough to watch and definitely NSFW.
