Smith tried to stop the LIVE STREAM but unfortunately wasn't able to but that part will no longer be aired on Fox, Smith was also clearly shaken but what was shown and VERY sincere and apologetic. No one can fully predict what happens on LIVE STREAM, but fox has shown great integrity with how they handled it. Take heed ALL main stream media, no matter who wins or loses the truth will ALWAYS come to light..ALWAYS, and everything said and done whether good, bad , underhanded or honestly will ALWAYS stay with you for years to come. So rather be a paid zombie I believe that news networks should do what the public expects of them which is to REPORT FAIR and TRUTHFUL NEWS. Don't let a dirty campaign be an ugly scar on the integrity of a news network that will follow you FOREVER.

A lot of hoopla for nothing. An image of ONE guy pointing a gun to his head then falling down is somehow dramatic and disturbing, but images of missiles and bombs hitting civilian targets with multiple civilian casualties were shown on the same news network as a spectator sport. Please stop the hypocrisy.

Hats off to Shepard Smith for his integrity and character. I Doubt seriously if any other newscaster or network would have apologized, especially before the public outcry.

Man, that was great. Justice served by his own hand AND WITHOUT INNOCENT LIVES BEING TAKEN TOO! In prisons across the country- they should give this video to cons to watch and also a whole mess of loaded guns. Maybe they could do re-enactments and kill themselves. "Hey Vinny, lets re-enact that Arizona dude running and then blowin' his head off, hehe!" Maybe we can send all the fast and furious leftover weapons to prisons and copies of this tape!

WOW. Now we know that for some TV is a blood sport (see below). Explains the popularity of CSI shows where we get to see bloody dead bodies. Sick.
