PANAMA CITY (News Herald)—And on Sunday, the fifth day after a crazed gunman opened fire on them, Superintendent Bill Husfelt and members of the Bay District School Board went to church and thanked God for sparing their lives.
Husfelt and board members Steve Moss, Joe Wayne Walker, Jerry Register and Chairman Ryan Neves are not the sort of people who believe in happy accidents or coincidences or that bullets fired at close range will miss seven targets.
