Investigators are still sorting out what happened to spark a shooting outside a Gadsden elementary school Thursday morning that left one person dead.

Etowah County Sheriff Jonathan Horton said a resident called Attalla police reporting a suspicious man outside the school.

According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the man attempted to enter a marked Rainbow City patrol vehicle used by the school resource officer.

Reddick said the man was trying to get into vehicles and “aggressively” tried to open several doorways to the school, which went into lockdown, following protocols.

The Rainbow City officer attempted to stop the man, according to ALEA. After a conversation, the man resisted and attempted to take the officer’s firearm.

Other officers from Gadsden police responded to the scene. The man was shot and killed in front of the school.

Officials have not said if the man was armed. He was later identified as Robert Tyler White, 32, of Bunnlevel, N.C.

A Rainbow City police officer suffered minor injuries in the scuffle. The school is located in the Walnut Park section of Gadsden near the old Republic Steel plant. Within minutes, dozens of officers from several different agencies were on the scene.

Just saw a couple of pictures. Looks like the brother is telling the truth.

If we had any real investigative reporting nowadays, they would surely find that 100% of mass shooters are on prescription mind altering drugs.

Big pharma hurting millions with experimental vaxxes....this is old hat for them. They’ve been profiting off of mind altering drugs for a long time and they’re never blamed for the consequences.

So much for Alabama, I guess. Normal people are running out of options.

Biden and his 80+ million voters have “mental issues.”

In a lot of parts of Alabama, gay means happy and a rainbow is just a colorful arc in the sky after a thunderstorm.

Fire arms are not the problem. This nations has psychotics amongst us. They are everywhere - in schools, work places, among the homeless, even sitting at our dinner table. And, as far as I see, the nation is doing nothing about it.

A lot of mentally disturbed people were crazier before they started taking prescription drugs.

People with first-hand knowledge of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia know this well.

This city was named after U.S. Highway 411, called Rainbow Drive, which runs through the middle of the city.

That's exactly right.

The same Liberals who are soft on criminals are soft on those who suffer from mental illness.

They are always on the lookout for a new victim group.

"Other officers from Gadsden police responded to the scene. The man was shot and killed in front of the school."

And THAT, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how it's done!

I agree that GUNS are not the problem - mentally ill young MEN are the problem. But, since the Socialist Democrats WANT chaos, we're getting it in spades. We are on our own. Our kids are pawns in this sick, sick game. Don't ever doubt that.

America’s 90 degree swerve to the left has quadrupled the number of people residing here who suffer from serious mental issues. When you’re a leftwing kook, it’s getting harder and harder every day to justify your politics. Especially since Pedo Jo Jo the Demented Leftist Clown brought leftwing “democrazy” into the District of Corruption Palace.

Sounds like a place that was named long before the flaming homo’s perverted something beautiful and made it reprehensible.
