I was in Harrisburg at the time. WGAL showed the entire event.
There was a strategy in play. This happened on Super Bowl Sunday(da Bears). Dwyer had just been convicted in court of some malfeasance. He had not been sentenced but I believe that was to happen the following day. Once sentenced, his state pension and other benefits would be lost to him and his family.
Bud shot himself that Sunday so that he could not be sentenced. The state went after his pension anyway and the courts have ruled that since he was never sentenced that the family could still receive his pension and other benefits.
That was some bleed-out. A must see for anyone contemplating the same with a large caliber weapon.
