Clay Duke, 56, was believed to be angry about his wife losing her job.
A television reporter at the meeting said he went up to the podium at the Bay District School Board meeting and said he had a motion to propose.
He then pulled out a can of red spray paint and painted a "V" with a circle around it.
Duke then pulled out a gun and remonstrated with those present, who attempted to calm him down.
He was confronted by a female board member, who tried to knock the gun out of his hand using her handbag.
He pushed her to the ground before he started firing randomly, then turned the gun on himself.
It is believed at least 10 shots were fired during the incident.
No one else was injured.
That woman who tried to disarm the gunman right at the beginning is an idiot, she could have easily gotten them all killed right there and then for that.

Love those youtube comments, if everyone had a gun and were trained to use it less people would get shot. Great logic there, I like guns but I'm not delusional.
Like seriously? you want to disarm a gunman by swinging your purse at him?
Not that anything like that would ever be condoned, but it blows my mind that half a dozen people just watched her and a)no body helped her or b)used that opportunity to run.

That would probably be one of the stupidest things to do. They would most likely all be dead right now if they did that.

Better than just sitting there when he points it at your face and pulls the trigger? I don't know, I'd atleast want to have a fighting chance instead of just sitting there and being absolutely helpless.
