[quote]A GUNMAN was killed after reportedly firing shots and taking hostages today at a school board meeting in Florida's panhandle. The shooter barged into the Bay County school board meeting in Panama City, Florida, while it was in session. Witnesses reported hearing multiple shots fired, Fox News Channel said. No one else was injured in the incident, Karen Tucker, a spokeswoman for Bay County Schools confirmed to Fox. Earlier reports indicated the gunman was shot by a former school board member and district security chief named Mike Jones, but that was not confirmed. [b]After addressing the board's members, the suspect allegedly spray painted the letter V on the wall[/b], WJHG-TV reported. He then dismissed the women and children from the room and took the remaining members hostage. A SWAT team arrived on the scene and burst into the meeting room as tensions were rising, the report said. Ginger Littleton, a school board member, reportedly hit the gunman with her purse. He pushed her to the ground and then began firing randomly, the report said. Unconfirmed reports suggest the man fired blanks at the school board members.[/quote] [url=http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/man-opens-fire-in-us-school-board-meeting/story-e6frfku0-1225971293927]source[/url] Is it just me, or does spray painting V seem a little odd? And then the fact he was using blanks? This whole story seems strange. [img]http://a.images.blip.tv/V4vendetta-picture954.jpg[/img] ?
Sounds like he got schooled.
If only people from improve everywhere could have showed up and played a musical number.
he should have spray painted a giant dick
Would be interesting if the man was still alive, but the dumbass died with no impact or cause whatsoever.
Anyone find the /b/ thread yet?
So today we are going to discuss school lunches... Board member James has put forth a motion to add ham sandwiches to the thursday menu... EVERYONE TO THE FUCKING GROUND!
Another hostage taking at a school. There was one like a week ago.

Any reason why?

There's a video out of the incident, it was recorded. But the part where he killed himself after being shot is cut out, damnit. The good parts always get cut out
My, that guy sure went ballistic... [editline]15th December 2010[/editline] Wait, that's not funny, that's how that expression originated! :doh:
I go to the high school that is only like 5 minutes away from the building where this happened at. I was chillin in the band room when my band director came up and showed me all the facebook posts about it. [editline]14th December 2010[/editline] I believe he did it cause his wife got fired from the school board or something of that nature. And it had to it also had to do with some kind of local sales tax that involved the schools.
:20bux: sez' he was a loony.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;26705824]:20bux: sez' he was a loony.[/QUOTE] You think? And he was a bad aim.
[QUOTE=Funcoot;26705830]You think? And he was a bad aim.[/QUOTE] Or, as the article suggested, he was using blanks. Unlikely for a loony though.
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;26706015]Or, as the article suggested, he was using blanks. Unlikely for a loony though.[/QUOTE] I doubt this, because he would have to put the bullets in the right order, 4 blanks and then a real shot. And I don't think he intentionally shot the ground, that would have thrown him off. It's a possibility though.

[url=http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=772_1292376603]Here's two videos, first one has the shoot-out at the end [/url]
That woman who smacked him with her purse? Total badass. Too bad she didn't carry a gun in that purse, she could have put it against his head and said "Dodge this" as she shot him.
Make all the jokes you want, it's kind of sad in reality, watching the video and hearing the "They had caps..." line was genuinely upsetting. Though I do have to wonder, what /did/ he want. I mean, seemed like they were willing to give it to him bluff or not.
[QUOTE=Sift;26707720]"They had caps..." [/QUOTE] What does that mean?
I found a video of it: [URL]http://video.se.msn.com/watch/video/pistolman-borjade-skjuta-pa-skolmote/1nk0mpp6a[/URL] It has all the footage except for one tiny part of it that was not released. But it still has the sounds for it, a lot of screams and gunshots. People get so squirmish around armed gunmen, We... I mean, they, tend to find that a bit offensive.. Oh, and, the guy talking about it is Swedish, but, still...

They think he had blanks 'Caps' as the guy said But doesn't anyone see the idiot shoot the ground in front of his foot by accident after the first shot? It leaves a big fat hole in the floor
[QUOTE=TheTalon;26711157]They think he had blanks 'Caps' as the guy said[/QUOTE] police already confirmed that he had live rounds
[QUOTE=IStanI;26711044]Why would you post a Swedish source? There is an English one.[/QUOTE] 'cause I'm Swedish and I just ran into it by coincidence...? What? I'm not your fucking serving-wench...
