PANAMA CITY- There is a gunman calmly walked to a podium, spray painted a red "V" with a circle around it on a wall and opened fire at school board members Tuesday, sending people scrambling and diving for cover.And then, a security guard soon ran in, exchanged shots with and wounded the man who then killed himself, police said. video of the clash that lasted several minutes, the gunman, Clay A. Duke, dispassionately confronts the Bay District school board, telling everyone in the room to leave except the men on the board.
Superintendent Bill Husfelt tries to persuade him to drop the gun.
The 56-year-old slowly and deliberately raises the gun and levels it Husfelt, who pleads "Please don't, please don't." Duke then fires two shots that miss, followed by several others that didn't hit the half-dozen or so people still left in the room.
Tommye Lou Richardson, the school district's personnel director, who was at the meeting, called Jones a hero for his actions.
