Shepard Smith Apologizes after FOX News Airs Car Chase that Ends in Suicide



A car chase in Phoenix, Ariz. today ended in a suspected carjacker committing suicide, and FOX News aired it live despite its five-second tape delay.

Mediaite reports that FOX had been tracking the chase since 3:00pm ET. The car had apparently been speeding at “110 mph on an Arizona freeway and then on a dirt road west of Tonopah,” according to the website. Then the suspected carjacker pulled over in the desert, got out of the car and seemed to wander erratically before stepping into a grassy area and shooting himself in the head.

FOX anchor Shepard Smith can be heard shouting “get off it, get off it, get off it” immediately before the station cut to commercial. When the show returned, he apologized to viewers. “We really messed up,”he said, “and we’re all very sorry.”

Maybe it's time to take depression and mental illness seriously now ya think?

Peeps who off themselves are far from being cowards.

Takes a lot of guts to try kill yourself bud,more guts to do it right.

Good for you,guess you never learned anything then about why he was trying to committ suicide.
That should have been a learning experience.
When you get older grasshopper you may understand this part of life.
When nothing brings you any happiness day after day,you cant understand it unless you have been there or are a good listener.
If I was ever going to pull the pin the last guy I would want to talk to is a guy like you.

Have some compassion in your life,just because someone is haveing a hard time is no reason to criticize them or try and make them look lesser then you.

Because the church tells you to think that way?

No compassion in gerrys religion.
Suicide is painless.But if you carry it out your a loser,am I right

The armed suspect stole the four-door SUV at gunpoint from a couple outside a Phoenix restaurant, and then fired at police during his failed getaway...He killed himself about 80 miles east of the border, pumping a single bullet into his head on national television.

Not luck,just something we should be dealing with on a proactive stance.
Or it will keep happening.There is a lot of ****ed up people on this planet,untill we learn to treat mental illness and not have guys like gerry calling these folks retards will we stop this.
I'm not defending the guy,but maybe he could have been stopped if the stereoytype was not there.

Not sure if you will -- but if I was mod you would. Your post was of no value and was openly mocking another member. I feel dirtier for having just read it.

You had Gerry on ignore before then took him off for 'fun'. If this is 'fun', have at it kid. Self-destruct is just as painless.

I took him off to see what the mods would let him get away with.
Obviously anything he wants to.
No offence but your not an impartial mod.
Edit-I just got another infraction from the mod Locutus,thats 2 he has given me so far.
For nothing but speaking my mind.
