I'd never heard of a Duck and Cover Drill at a school board meeting before..  Only this wasn't a drill... A gunman, 56 year old Clay A. Duke apparantly upset because his wife had been fired interrupted the meeting and started shooting,,

The only person injured was the gunman. He was wounded in an gunfire exchange with Mike Jones the security guard. After being wounded Duke killed himself

A word of advice, don't mess with Panama School Board Member Ginger Littleton, she has spunk, nerve and guts,  as you can see from the Video her common sense is questionable, but not her courage

Duke walked to the front of the room, spray painted a red "V" with a circle around it on the white wall, then turned and waved a handgun. He calmly ordered everyone to "hit the road" except the men on the board sitting behind a long beige desk.

Despite his shock, Bay City Schools Superintendent Bill Hasfelt mustered a calm voice and tried to persuade Duke to drop the gun, but the 56-year-old ex-convict just shook his head, blaming officials for his wife being fired.
