And then suddenly, it was the opposite.
"We're in a meeting, and we talk about technology and head lice, and the next thing we know. This guy is a gun in his face," Bill Husfelt, superintendent of the school district of the Bay of Panama City, Florida, on Wednesday.
Clay Duke, 56, sat silently through the meeting until it is time for citizens to submit questions was. Then he approached the front of the room, in red "V" painted with a circle around him to the wall and pulled a small caliber weapon to the room of all is to release six men.
Duke ended up shooting the men, but missed. Stung by a security guard fell to the floor duke, who turned his weapon against him. He was declared dead with a gunshot wound to the head in a local hospital, authorities said. An autopsy is on Wednesday.
"It was surreal," said Husfelt "American Morning." CNN had already, he told us was dying, he was ready to die, and we would die from it ... You could tell by the look in his eyes, it would be a death occurs. "
"If I died, I knew where I was going to end," he said. "But it's a miracle.There is no excuse for it. God has blocked the bullets."
Shortly after the space that was all erased, but the six men. A board member Ginger Littleton slipped into the space behind the Duke with her purse and tried to beat the gun from his hand. He failed, and they fought and the Duke. Little ton finished on the floor, and the Duke cursed him and pointed the gun at her, but not the fire and had to leave the room.
Little ton told CNN Wednesday, he believed he would die, but she left because "he was concerned about my people. They were arranged like ducks in a row. I was basically standing on the same level with them. I knew something bad would happen. That was my only option ... my uncle was three rings of binders and pencils for the protection, and that's it. "
When the Duke was thrown to the ground, "was my thought that the plan has failed and no plan B, which probably not one of the best things I've done," said Littleton.
She said she did not know, why not pull the trigger Duke, but his meaning was "wanted to kill and not kill." Over time, however, "seems to be increasingly willing to do real damage," he said.
A videotape of the cooling of the meeting, out of a live stream on the Internet and CNN affiliate WJHG WMBB Husfelt tries to reason with the duke, the incoherent a speech that had to do with his apparent dismissal of women and started the sales tax. He and the Director General has considered the possibility of finding a job for the wife of a duke or the search box. House said he signed probably finished papers, but could not in the circumstances.
House Duke tried to get other members to leave the room. "Would you let go?Brother's me, of course, why are you here?" The question of the band.
"Like Ginger, we were helpless," said Husfelt. "All we had was all I could do to buy time ... we had. I could sit there and we choose."
At one point Husfelt Duque said. "I do not think anyone is hurt. I feel, what you want, you want to get the police to kill because you are mad because you said to die, but why this is not.? penalty. "
Duke said Husfelt the weapon, which has said. "Please, please do not .." But the Duke expressed as Husfelt and the other feel.
"I said," I was touched. Sure does not hurt, I thought it would be, "he said on Wednesday.
"I was so close, almost, as this unit and has the right to me," said Husfelt. I added "I tried to make a type of hand ... is it all reactionaries. Who knows what to do in this situation?" Everyone was scared and praying a lot, I can say. "
Both Husfelt and Littleton, said Mike Jones, head of security for the school system and a retired policeman, was a hero. House said he heard Jones enter the room after Duke pushed first. Duke fired several shots were more Duke Jones heard.
Both Husfelt and Littleton said that if it was not for Jones, would have had more deaths."Added Mike Jones was just in time, or not much would be more bloodshed," said Husfelt. Hero said he tried to tape, can reach the fire to be seen, even after he was wounded.
"I am very grateful to be here to talk to you," said Husfelt. "It's not something to do what I want, but I am to be so grateful."
