"A distraught barbershop owner killed himself in front of a city council meeting Thursday after members voted down a proposal to rezone his property, according to witnesses.

After the 5-7 vote in Clarksville, Tenn., on Thursday night, Ronald (Bo) Ward walked toward the council and said, "Y'all have put me under…. I'm out of here."

He then shot himself in the head with a small handgun."
