The 2010 Panama City school board shootings occurred on December 14, 2010, in Panama City, Florida. In the attack, a disgruntled individual, Clay Allen Duke, fired four shots at six Bay District School board members, but missed them all, including the superintendent. Duke was then shot several times by security guard Mike Jones, a former policeman; shortly afterward Duke killed himself with a shot to the head. Much of the episode and its immediate aftermath were recorded by local television news stations WMBB and WJHG-TV. The video was subsequently uploaded to video sharing sites, including YouTube.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=clay duke )〕 ==Incident== At 2:00 p.m. on December 14, 2010, Duke stood up during a school board meeting in Panama City, Florida, and said, "I have a motion." He then promptly pulled out a can of red spray paint and sprayed a "V" inside a circle, as seen in the film ''V for Vendetta''. He then produced a 9mm Smith & Wesson 469 semiautomatic pistol, causing other staff near the bench and audience members to duck for cover. He aimed the gun at the board members and used it to point to two women, saying, "You may leave, and you may leave...the women can leave...The six men stay, everyone else leave." After the room was evacuated, Duke told the board members he was upset that his wife had been fired from her job as an English teacher in the Panama City district. The superintendent, Bill Husfelt, after an approximately four-minute discussion, tried to negotiate with Duke, saying, "I'm the only one who signs (papers ), will you let them (other board members ) go?"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raw Video: Inside the Fla. School Board Shooting )〕 Duke denied his requests to allow the other board members to leave, saying, "They're part of it." Husfelt then argued with Duke about his threat, saying, "For what? (to Duke's threat to kill himself ) This isn't worth it." Duke raised the pistol and leveled it at the superintendent. Husfelt started to hold his arms to his chest, saying, "Please don't, please don't, please..." Duke fired, hitting the table in front of Husfelt. The board members dove to the ground behind the desk. Duke then accidentally fired a second shot into the floor of the room, just as a responding security guard, Mike Jones, opened fire on Duke. After being hit by one of Jones' rounds, he fired two or three more times behind the table. Despite four or five shots being fired from Duke's gun, no board members were hit. He was shot again by Jones, fell to the ground, blindly fired a few more shots at Jones, then pointed the gun at his head and committed suicide. Jones was not injured. According to his wife, Duke was an excellent marksman and likely missed his targets intentionally. Jones later stated, "I thought I'd let them down. I opened the door with one hand and was firing with the other. ...I don't know how I survived with all those shots fired." He also added, "I'm not a hero, folks." Minutes after the shooting, WMBB uploaded the video to YouTube and other sites, where it received more than 1,000,000 views in less than a week.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2010 Panama City school board shootings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
