Arizona Governor Jan Brewer tweeted a photo of herself vetoing a controversial bill that was designed to allow business owners to deny service to gays - just moments after she made a televised announcement that she was killing the legislation.

"My agenda is to sign into law legislation that advances Arizona," she said Wednesday night.

Moments ago, I vetoed #SB1062. pic.twitter.com/gdQn0dG2vB

Earlier in the week, prominent Republicans took to Twitter to urge Brewer to kill the bill. They joined a growing chorus of politicians and businesses such as the NFL and Apple that were calling for a veto.

I hope Governor Brewer will veto #SB1062
