Re: Budd Dwyer, Commits Suicide During News Conference: Hi-Quality
"Having stopped reading, he called to three of his staffers, giving each an envelope. One envelope contained a suicide note to his wife. The second contained an organ donor card and other related materials. The third envelope contained a letter addressed to then-Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey, who had taken office just two days earlier. Dwyer then produced a manila envelope with a .357 Magnum revolver in it. As he pulled the gun out of the envelope, he said to the gathered crowd, "Please leave the room if this will offend you." Attendees pleaded with Dwyer to put the gun down, while some ran to get help. Others tried to approach him.[10] Dwyer advised everyone not to come near him, saying, "Don't, don't, don't, this will hurt someone."[11] With people still trying to persuade him to reconsider, Dwyer turned the gun toward his body, opened his mouth wide, and pulled the trigger.[12] The bullet exited out of the back of Dwyer's skull, and he collapsed against a nearby wall with blood pouring profusely out of his nose. Witnesses screamed and cursed as five news cameras recorded the events. Although Dwyer died within seconds of the gunshot, he was not pronounced dead at the scene until 11:31 A.M." Poor guy.
