The film reel of the restaurant shooting had jammed and would not run, so Chubbuck shrugged it off and said on-camera, "In keeping with the WXLT practice of presenting the most immediate and complete reports of local blood and guts news, TV 40 presents what is believed to be a television first. In living color, an exclusive coverage of an attempted suicide."[18] She drew a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver and shot herself behind her right ear.[8] Chubbuck fell forward violently and the technical director faded the broadcast rapidly to black.[19]
