In a thread on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Wave 3 News anchor Maira Ansari apologized to viewers who’d witnessed the incident.
“Something horrible happened on our newscast on #wave3news at 3:00 p.m on September 22nd while I was anchoring,” tweeted Maira Ansari, an anchor at the NBC affiliate.
“And if you hit your breaking point, instead of just taking your life, do something one step short of it.
And later, in an X reply, Ansari said she “always” reads her scripts, but “This one slipped my eyes.”
