Live footage captured the moment a TV news reporter suffered an embarrassing broadcast while shooting outside suspected assassin Luigi Mangiones former high school.
WBFF reporter Shannon Lilly had her broadcast sabotaged by a leaf blower who was seemingly protesting her presence outside the Gillman School in Baltimore - where Mangione was valedictorian.
Lilly referenced the tasteless celebrations from some over Mangiones alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, noting the community reaction as the leaf blower blared over her.
As you can hear behind me, there is certainly some hostility to even the fact that media is covering this story, she said.
As the camera panned to the leaf blower ruining the shot, Lilly added: This leaf blower behind me has told me that he will not leave until we do.
So we are definitely seeing some of the community members reacting, (they are) not happy the media is out here covering this story in general.
It comes as Mangione, 26, was arrested in McDonalds Altoona, Pennsylvania, at 9am after both a worker and an elderly patron spotted him and called the police.
He was charged with Thompsons murder on Tuesday morning, along with several firearms offenses.

The suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was valedictorian at the Gillman School - a $40,000-a-year high school in Baltimore - in 2016
Following his arrest, an avalanche of information over Mangiones background was revealed.
The 26-year-old is originally from Towson, Maryland, and is an anti-capitalist former Ivy League student who attended the Gillman School - one of Baltimores most prestigious schools that costs $40,000-a-year.
Mangione was valedictorian in 2016 and made a powerful speech about his experiences at the school.
Gilman School Head of School Henry P.A. Smyth said in the email on Monday that the arrest was deeply distressing news on top of an already awful situation.
After leaving school Mangione attended the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania where he studied computer science and engineering. He has spent four years working in a software company based in Santa Monica, California, called TrueCar.
The suspect has ties to San Francisco, and used to live in Honolulu, Hawaii, cops confirmed.
Police sources said he was angry at the way the medical insurance industry treated a sick relative, according to the New York Post.
Further details on that relative or their identity have not been shared, although online obituaries show Mangione lost a grandmother in 2013 and a grandfather in 2017.
His X account also shows an x-ray of complicated back surgery.

The suspected killer was also a fan of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, and referenced quotes from him on health and sickness on his Goodreads page.
Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness, read one excerpt from a Kaczynski quote on Mangiones Goodreads page.
The concept of mental health in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress, read another.
Cops arrested Mangione after a 911 call was made from a McDonalds about 9.15am on Monday.
The 911 caller who potentially identified the gunman at the Altoona McDonalds was an elderly patron according to an anonymous law enforcement official.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed on Monday afternoon that Mangione was in possession of a gun, silencer and a fraudulent New Jersey ID.

The ID matched the one the suspected killer used to check into a NYC hostel on November 24.
He was also found with a manifesto - which allegedly showed he was irate about the healthcare industry and its profits.
According to Tisch, 26-year-old Mangione also had clothing on him that matched the gunmans clothing.
The Commissioner thanked the public for their help, saying: We should never underestimate the power of the public to be our eyes and ears.
He had ill will against corporate America, Joseph Kenny said of Mangione.
Kenny said that the ghost gun he allegedly used to kill Brian Thompson may have been made with a 3D printer.
Thompson was gunned down outside a Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan at 6:44am on Wednesday December 4.
The doomed CEO had arrived in the city to host UnitedHealthcares annual investor meeting, where he was set to detail bumper profits.

Harrowing surveillance camera footage showed Thompson being shot at point blank range by three bullets.
Afterwards the shell casings were found to have the words deny, defend, depose written on them, in an apparent attack on health industry practices.
Thompson lived in a $1 million mansion in Minnetonka, Minnesota, a mile from the home of wife Paulette, from whom he was separated.
