    		And now, in keeping with Channel 40's policy of always bringing you the latest in blood and guts, in living color, you're about to see another first - an attempted suicide.
    Shot herself during broadcast.

    		In 1970, a newscaster named Chris Hubbock shot herself during broadcast right after she finished rattling off, "And now, in keeping with Channel 40's policy of always bringing you the latest in blood and guts, in living colour, you're about to see another first -- an attempted suicide."

    		It looks like Hubbock wins as far as Google hits are concerned. Maybe she shot herself because nobody could spell her name right.
