Purse School Board Shooting Ebay

Purse School Board Shooting Ebay - The name Ginger Littleton may not be immediately recognizable; however, her brown, faux crocodile purse is, after it made headlines last week when Littleton used it in a daring attempt to disarm a raging gunman at a Florida school board meeting on Dec. 14.

The famous purse has now been auctioned on eBay - for a charity founded by the hero of the school board shooting, security guard Mike Jones.

Littleton agreed to let NBC station WJHG auction off the purse on eBay with the proceeds going Mike Jones' Salvage Santa project.

Jones, who shot school board gunman Clay Duke, runs the charity, which reconditions used toys and bikes for children.

WJHG reports that the auction ended 7:55 p.m. Wednesday with a winning bid of $13,100 from a Virginia man who asked to remain anonymous. That bid was matched by Brahmin, the company that made the purse, meaning that the charity will receive a total of $26,200.

Duke had stormed the meeting to protest his wife's firing by the district.

He asked all women and children to leave the room, but while Duke was ranting to the male members of the school board Littleton reentered the room, then dangerously tried to disarm him, fortunate to escape unharmed.

Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively.
