Here's a link to an article about murdered DJs and radio hosts.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was assaulted at gunpoint one day at
our local radio station by a crazy ex-employee. Plus, I've been stalked
several different times. All of those events happened back in the late 70s
and early 80s. To me, it was a shock when it first happened to me, but now I
have come to recognize this phenomenon as a typical job hazard of the radio
industry. Radio draws nutcakes. That's what drew me to the industry to start
with!

Has anyone here had any such experience in their background?

A couple they didn't mention: When I was in grade school, I remember
someone from WHAS in Louisville (Jeff Douglas?) who was found murdered
on New Years in the mid 70's; and a DJ from Jamaica was killed along
with reggae star Peter Tosh by burglars around 1987
