Fox News was covering the
chase that began at midday Friday using a live helicopter shot from its
Phoenix affiliate when the man driving the small vehicle stopped, ran
into the desert and appeared to place a handgun to his head and fire.
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith told viewers minutes later that the video was supposed to be on a delay.
After a commercial break, Smith said "we really messed up, and we're all very sorry.
Phoenix police say the
chase may have started with a carjacking. The man then drove west on
Interstate 10 for dozens of miles before getting on the dirt road.
