Man shoots, kills self in California super-ultra-mega-church

The kicker here is that he shot himself as a volunteer just happened to be telling a group of visitors about the church’s suicide prevention programs.

Associated Press:

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. – A man shot and killed himself in front of a cross inside televangelist Robert H. Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral on Wednesday as a nearby volunteer told a group of visitors about the church’s suicide-prevention program, police and church officials said.

The man handed a note and his driver’s license to two ushers, walked to the cross and then shot himself in the head as he appeared to be praying, Senior Pastor Juan Carlos Ortiz said.
