Many of you may know the case of Christine Chubbuck. For those that don't, here are some details:
en.wikipedia.org
"According to Quinn, Chubbuck had an unrequited crush on co-worker George Peter Ryan. She baked him a cake for his birthday and sought his romantic attention, only to find out he was already involved with sports reporter Andrea Kirby. Kirby had been the co-worker closest to Chubbuck, but she was offered a new job in Baltimore, which had further depressed Chubbuck"
"The film reel of the restaurant shooting had jammed and would not run, so Chubbuck shrugged it off and said on-camera, "In keeping with the WXLT practice of presenting the most immediate and complete reports of local blood and guts news, TV 40 presents what is believed to be a television first. In living color, an exclusive coverage of an attempted suicide."[18] She drew a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver and shot herself behind her right ear.[9] Chubbuck fell forward violently and the technical director faded the broadcast rapidly to black.[19]"
