In 1987, Budd Dwyer called local journalists and news stations to a press conference. They believed that the Treasurer of Pennsylvania was going to talk about the fact that he was accused of receiving a bribe while serving the State – but that wasn’t why he called them.
As the cameras were rolling, Budd shocked reporters by pulling out a weapon and taking his own life right in front of them. From this final photograph, you can see just how harrowing this must have been for those who were there on the day, and for those who watched at home.
