Fox News anchor Shepard Smith apologises after car chase suspect kills himself on live TV
A man apparently shot himself in the head on live television at the end of a high-speed chase that began in Phoenix.
Fox News was covering the chase that began at midday Friday using a live helicopter shot from its Phoenix affiliate when the man driving the small vehicle stopped, ran into the desert and appeared to place a handgun to his head and pull the trigger.
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith told viewers minutes later that the video was supposed to be on a delay.
