Reginald Tucker, a young lawyer who raced along a Chicago skyscraper corridor without wearing his glasses crashed through a window and plunged 39 stories to his death on July 4, 1984, during an early Fourth of July party. Police said portions of the man's body were scattered around the street near the 41-story Prudential Building in the city's downtown area. Several horrified onlookers attending holiday celebrations heard the glass shatter and saw him fall to his death. One witness said it was "like an explosion" when he impacted a car.
Zafer Kuzu, 24, of Erzurum, Turkey, attempted to escape a community service sentence for inflicting injury by getting himself hospitalized on July 4 2019. He asked a friend to shoot him in the back through two pillows to reduce the shot's power. He was killed and the friend arrested.
Be careful out there. Last year "150 people were shot dead in at least 450 acts of gun violence across the country over the Fourth of July weekend — as major American cities, including the Big Apple, struggle to stem the surge in shootings, new data shows." Source
