He then pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and pointed it towards the crowd and board members. Clay let the audience members and all females leave. A female tried to knock out the gun from his hand with her purse but she was subdued by him which prompted Duke to let her go unharmed.

Duke went on a rant discussing his frustration with his wifes recent termination while one of the board members attempts to reason with Duke . Duke then aims the gun at the superintendent and fired a shot but missed. Duke then shot 3 more times in the direction of the board members but all those shots missed aswell.
