Apostle shoots at school board members

Caught on film: the moment a Florida man shot at school board membersClay Duke apparently shot himself after confronting members of the Bay District school board after his wife lost her job

Clay Duke, 56, said he was aggrieved at his wife losing her job as a result of cuts imposed by the board. He fired several rounds before he was shot and injured by a security guard. Reports suggest he then took his own life.

Footage from the shooting was shown on the Anderson Cooper 360 show on CNN in the US, including the moment Ginger Littleton, a female board member, hit Duke over the head with her handbag in an attempt to disarm him.

The board meeting at Bay District school in Florida was being filmed by news website wjhg.com. Its video showed board members seated in a semi-circle at the front of the school hall. As one of the members discusses a workshop, "which we'll have after this meeting", a deep voice is heard off camera saying simply: "I have a motion."

Duke then takes out a can of red spray paint and daubs a circle on the white wall with a V in the centre, before pulling out a handgun. The gunman allows women and children, including two female board members, to leave the room before confronting the six remaining men.

Duke repeatedly tells the board "I'm going to die today," and at one point also says: "You fired my wife," adding: "We're broke."

As the gunman threatens the remaining board members Littleton creeps back into the hall, carrying her handbag, before attempting to strike the weapon from Duke's hand. The ploy fails, and Littleton falls to the floor, but is allowed to leave by Duke.

School board superintendent Bill Husfelt then leads attempted negotiations with Duke, but they stall when Duke fires shots at the board. Fortunately, he misses the members.

Duke was shot and injured by a security guard, before falling to the floor and taking his own life.

The guy sure looks like Apostle to me.

People with guns. Sheeesh!! Ya see what happens.

Is Apostle still a virgin?

If I look like that to you, that's an indication of how stupid you are. That would make sense.

Further, you're more like that guy than I am: unemployed, bitter at the wrong people, relationship issues, unliked by society.

For the last straw, there is already a thread about this.

You've failed at yet another troll. I hope you don't go out and shoot someone now.

The odds are......YES.

But he sure got off on those board members!!

Stop crying.

This is the kind of story that makes most of Wordforge walk around, looking the other way.

No one looked the other way. We had an intelligent discussion about it. The "intelligent" and "discussion" part of that, of course, drive your kind away.

A gun dude made ya look bad. Makes people wonder about those carry permits.

This?? Ya kidding me right?

WTF? This guy should have gone into writing for action movies. :santa_ok:

Anyway, BAMF award for bringing a purse to a gunfight.

BTW "people with guns" also stopped the guy by shooting him, most likely the tipping point in him taking his own life. So it all balances out. :santa_smiley:

1. This man had felony convictions for stalking in the past. No carry permit for him!
2. This event took place on public school property. No carry permit allows anyone to carry there who isn't a security guard or police officer.
3. This even therefore did not actually happen, since your magic liberal piece of paper laws ban guns at such locations.

You're stupid, Mewa. Your kind are just flat out dumb. :|

Good point. To bad that guy wasn't on camera.

But how come he didn't unload on the guy. I thought the deal was to make sure he's DOWN. He was supposed to walk up and put one in his head.

Again, you're stupid. We've talked about this many times.

Have a nice day, dummy.

Oh, and the guy with the gun was slow. He let that guy shoot away before he stepped up.

What's up with that?

Apostle woulda did a citizen's arrest, right?!

I would have. A threat being "down" means jack shit. The guy was a proven threat - thus you stop him completely or don't bother engaging him at all.

Some people just have the bare minimum shooting/defense training, so they don't understand or even care how bullets really work and how they effect the human body.

Forgot the link.

I tell you this....he should have shot that bitch that hit him with the bag. Just blam, blam, blam!!

Nice to see ya drop in once in a while for nice intelligent conversation, Steve.

Yeah, Mewa calling for the death of a white woman. Typical.

Ummm....did you miss the part where he let all the women go in the first place? Obviously he wanted to spare the women, and unless she has a grenade in her purse, she's not really a substantial threat.

That's what the guy in your avatar is saying....'Kill de white wimen!! Kill de white wimen!!'

He's more focused on Tennis.

That's what I'm sayin'. He gave all the woman a chance to book.

But NOOOOOO. This chick thinks she could do something. Dumb bitch!

Is Tennis your dog's name?

Are you saying black people are scared of dogs?

No, I'm say that given the chance, black people would kill YOUR dog.

Unless a snake scares you away first.

I ain't fuckin' wit no snakes!

Elwood will save you! Provided you can outrun him, you'll be fine.

Hey Apostle, don't ever change. Later dude!
