School Board Gunman Had Date Marked on Calendar

Police said the ex-convict who held a Florida school board at gunpoint had been planning to do it for some time.

Panama City Police Chief John Van Etten says Tuesday's date was circled on a calendar found in the trailer where 56-year-old Clay Duke lived north of Panama City.

Duke shot himself after firing at school board members during a meeting Tuesday. No one else was hurt. Before opening fire, he painted a red V on a wall and talked about his wife being fired.

CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann reports that Duke left a foreboding message on his Facebook account: "Some people (the government sponsored media) will say I was evil, a monster."

Officials say she worked for the schools, but it wasn't clear whether she resigned or had been fired or what her job was. She was apparently living with her mother in a nearby town.

Van Etten says the shooting was not "spur of the moment." Police also found anti-government paraphernalia in Duke's home.

The school board was in the midst of a routine discussion when Duke walked to the front of the room.

"We could tell by the look in his eyes that this wasn't going to end well," Bay District Schools Superintendent Bill Husfelt said.

"It could have been a monumental tragedy," Husfelt said. "God was standing in front of me and I will go to my grave believing that."
