Sad event in front of News Corp. headquarters in New York City:
A former employee of a Fox News affiliate in Texas shot and killed himself outside the front doors of the News Corporation building shortly before 9 a.m. Monday, a law-enforcement official said.
The building houses Fox News headquarters and The Wall Street Journal, both of which are owned by News Corporation.
The man, Phillip Perea, 41 years old, of Irving, Texas, shot himself once in the chest outside of 1211 Avenue of the Americas, the official said. Mr. Perea had previously worked for a Fox News affiliate in Austin, Texas.
And:Police at the scene said that the man apparently shot himself with a small-caliber pistol, which was found on the ground next to him. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition, cops said.
Prior to the shooting, the man was heard protesting Fox News, saying that the news channel ruined his life, a source said.
Mr. Perea had posted a series of videos called The American Workplace Bully: How FOX News Ended My Career. In the videos, he claimed he was unjustly fired from the Austin Fox News affiliate. The videos do reveal secretly recorded conversations with the general manager of the Austin Fox News affiliate saying other employees "feared" Perea and that Perea made them uncomfortable. 
that is making the ultimate statement,  i wonder were there other dynamics in his life that took him to that place and Fox being the straw that broke him, sad as it is if his tapes are available it will help show more of the work ethics of that co. the reputation they have now would tend to lend credibility to i guess what could be seen as his last words.  would like to here what FOX and their viewers say about the guy
