Barber Kills Self in Front of City Council After Vote


CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee - A barber with strong ties to the military community pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head at a City Council meeting after his request for a rezoning measure was rejected.
Ronald "Bo" Ward sought the rezoning to increase the property value of his home, allowing him to secure a loan to offset debt he incurred when he expanded his barber shop.
After the 5-7 vote Thursday night, Ward stood and walked toward the council.
"Ya'll have put me under. ... I'm out of here," he said before shooting himself in the head with a small handgun. Full Story - Outdoor Life Magazine - True Cigarettes - Country Inns & Suites
