Gunman Takes Florida School Board Meeting Hostage

This is crazy...

(CNN) -- Clay Duke sat quietly through the first portion of the Bay District Schools, Florida, school board meeting Tuesday afternoon as local children were honored for their achievements.

 

When it came time for citizens to bring up issues, the 56-year-old resident calmly approached the front.

 

He spray painted a red "V" with a circle around it on the wall, brandished a small-caliber handgun and ordered the room cleared at a Panama City schools building.

 

"Six men stay. Everyone else leave," the burly gunman said.

 

Moments later, Ginger Littleton, a board member, returned to the room and swung a purse at him. She ended up on the ground after the two struggled. The gunman cursed her, but did not open fire and he let her leave the room.

 

Someone was going to die, he said.

 

 

This one shows after that one cuts out...

WOW!

Holy crap....I am glad all of them are okay.

Wow, those two videos are absolutely incredible.

 

I can't believe he actually opened fire on them like that. I'm glad he has horrible aim. Reminded me of Dumb & Dumber, where Lloyd goes "You're a horrible shot!"

The guy in the red kind of threw the middle guy under the bus. The guy in the middle should be commended because he was trying to take the heat for the others and get them out. He also faked like he got shot pretty well.

 

And that lady who hit him with is purse couldn't have been any dumber. She's lucky she didn't get a bunch of people hurt because that was beyond stupid.

Wow. Heck, he almost shot himself in the foot too. He had no idea how to use that gun. Thank goodness they were all okay. Unreal.

I can't imagine how terrified those guys must have been once he actually pulled that trigger. What a horrible ordeal.

The woman with the purse pulled one of the most stupid moves I have ever seen.

The lady with the purse made a decent attempt at it. She swung her purse pretty hard at the gunman's hand, but there's not many women who would be able to take a man of that size down.

Anybody else think that man is insane / delusional / mentally ill? He couldn't even recall what his wife did before she was fired.

Totally agree.

 

Her comment? "I knew that he had the gun right there. There wasn't anything I could do. My plan A was to try to get the gun away from him. Unfortunately, because I'm probably not smarter than the average bear, I did not have a plan B" .

 

Probably not? Not exactly the adverb I would use.

No doubt about it! I'm rather shocked he didn't just blow her away on the spot. Bad shot that he was, he likely would have hit her.

After his first shot he shoots one right into the ground and seemed kind of dazed and confused. I would imagine he was on some kind of drugs.

Very possible, he did seen rather out of it. Of course, you have to be out of it to begin with to do something like that.
