Daniel Victor Jones. There is a video of the incident in the vids section. He had aids and cancer and was mad at his HMO for the shitty coverage they gave him. Set his truck on fire and shotgunned himself in the forehead. It was sensationalized by the media since he did it while being broadcast live by news helicopter. Compounded by the fact that some kids shows were cut off to display the "Breaking News" of the high speed chase that led up to it, so many children got to watch it happen. 1998.
I remember that shit. Saw the whole thing when i was like 14 i think. Was the most awesome news coverage i saw until the north hollywood shootout. Saw that guy go down too.
