Christine Chubbuck shooting video: Long lost video of Florida anchor’s on-air suicide posted to YouTube
On July 15, 1974 WXLT (now WWSB) host Christine Chubbuck pulled out a gun and shot herself live, on-air.
Chubbuck’s last words were “In keeping with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living color, you are going to see another first – an attempted suicide.” Chubbuck, 29, died 14 hours later at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
