Los Angeles, CA (AP)- After fifty years hosting America's favorite gameshow, Bob Barker was fatally shot while taping his final show before retirement on Monday.
Barker was host of the CBS gameshow The Price is Right and had announced his retirement several months ago. His final show was set to air on July 7th, 2007, but will now not be shown due to recent events.
While investigators initially thought this was a routine celebrity shooting, recent evidence indicates that Barker himself may have been involved.
Chuck Barris, host of such popular television programs as The Gong Show and The Dating Game, was apprehended shortly after the incident and the LAPD have released a statement charging Barris with the murder.
Ironically, in a statement released by Barris' attorney, Barris has taken credit for the shooting but states he was setup by Barker.
"Regretfully I fell victim to Bob's will," Barris' attorney read, "Bob didn't want to just fade into the Hollywood sunset and requested my services. I unfortunately overlooked the speedy response of Los Angeles' finest."
Barris, in an autobiography based on his life, claimed to have been a CIA operative and assassin with over a hundred confirmed kills. This claim has yet to be verified.
Los Angeles investigators have stated they are looking into every aspect of the case.
"It's L.A. and at this point we're not ruling anything out." stated LAPD correspondent Eric Nickol.

Too funny... Will we get the LAPD update on the case?
Depends on Barris' connection to the CIA I guess, I smell a coverup.
