Gunman Takes Florida School Board Meeting Hostage

Featured Replies

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!"

 

This was the first thing I thought about after viewing the film.

Agree with everyone about the woman. That was incredibly stupid.

 

Also agree that they are all lucky that man had absolutely zero shooting skills. I'm sure him being crazy/intoxicated/nervous had a little to do with his poor shooting though.

 

The school resource officer was in the back of the room right? The man had is back to him if he was, so I wonder if the School resource officer considered shooting the gunman from the back of the room before the gunman opened fire?

I was wondering about that myself.

 

BTW, the idiot woman is being called a "hero" by some in the media. :rolleyes:

If you listen to the whole replay, you hear that school security guy talking to the man, asking him if he has a gun. Then, the man asks the security guy if he has a gun. He says, "no," then says he's leaving. He walks out of the room and doesn't return until he hears shots fired.

So, do I have this right? He really had a gun and left the room until he heard shots fired?

He got in there pretty quick and fired a shot into the back of his right leg so I am not sure what door he came in. He had to be peaking in the door to get in and shoot him that fast.

The interviews on CNN made it sound like the security guard came from the front of the room, but that didn't make much sense to me.

 

I had a hard time finding the full video yesterday. CNN has broken it down into segments with their anchors narrating and providing commentary, and some interviews by the witnesses. It was frustrating.

So, do I have this right? He really had a gun and left the room until he heard shots fired?
I'll see if I can find the full video.

Here's the full video. This version is one of the few that shows the scene after the shooting, when the SWAT team (after the fact) comes in. It has everything but the moment that he shot himself in the head.

 

The security officer can be heard popping his into the room a few times at the beginning; however, his verbal exchange with the gunman happens at about the 3:28 mark.

 

Thanks for the link, BF.

 

The 1st school board member to talk took the best approach. The guy "who signed the papers" was somewhat stand off-ish and seemed to make matters worse.

Yeah, that was pretty stupid to start arguing with the guy. It was a few seconds later that he started firing.

But you have to believe in your campaign! :rolleyes:

Kinda weird if true.

Hostage negotiators they are not. I am pretty sure I would have made a mess of myself though. Pretty scary.

In his latest interview, he explains that, after the verbal exchange, he left to get more weapons and a bulletproof vest from his truck. He came back, opened the door, and that's when the guy started shooting.
