A police officer shot and killed a man who allegedly tried to enter an elementary school in northeast Alabama Thursday morning, authorities said.
Gadsden City Schools Superintendent Tony Reddick told reporters that a "potential intruder" tried to open several doors at Walnut Park Elementary School, which had students and staff inside for summer school.
A school resource officer with the Rainbow City Police Department came outside to "engage the guy in conversation" before the interaction began to escalate, Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton told ABC News.

Responding officers found the SRO in a "physical altercation" with the suspect on the school's lawn, the sheriff said. After multiple attempts to subdue the suspect, a Gadsden officer fatally shot the suspect, according to Horton.
Horton said he did not know whether the suspect was armed. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, which is investigating the shooting, said in a press release that the subject allegedly tried to take the SRO's gun.

Good guy with a gun.
Kids all safe.
Sadly the only way the DNC can profit off of this is if the attempted killer is black.
If the attempted killer is black...down the rabbit hole it goes...
They weren’t take any chances 🤪
The attempted killer has been identified as White, Robert Taylor White, 32, from North Carolina.
Actually if the killer is black there will be protests looting’s and burning of inner cities.
Well, in this environment, a black school shooter would be a tough sell, even for Joy Behar and MSNBC. Not that they wouldn’t try...
Note. Voting is done in schools which give the kids a day off. Be absolutely certain that you are voting on the right day and right place.
If you are mistaken and try to open a door to go in and vote, you will be forever listed as the one who tried to break into a school. Hysteria clouds minds.
Summer school shooters? Glowies are getting desperate.
GOW reference? d;^)
The SRO gave it to him, bullets first.
If he is black then unless he was carrying 2 ARs and a 9mm then it’s gone..
“ALEA did not say that the suspect tried to enter the school, but that he allegedly tried to “make forcible entry” into a Rainbow City patrol car. “
Are we going to shoot and kill unarmed “Potential intruders” NOW? OVERREACTION MUCH?
The officer only shot him because he was white. He wouldn’t DARE shoot Trayvon Floyd or he would end up sharing a cell with Derek Chauvin.
There are clues you might have the wrong date, such as no campaign signs, no precinct signs. No lines. Etc.
Not a good time to try to enter a school by non-regular means. Folks will be touchy for a while.
Aren’t poll station numbers and campaign signs usually posted around polls on election days?
Great job...👍
“he subject allegedly tried to take the SRO’s gun”
Trying to take the gun of a law enforcement officer or armed security guard is considered lethal force in Texas. Probably is in most states.
Criminals need to learn this.
This is how schools are kept safe. More needs to be done, but disarming law-abiding citizens is NOT the answer.
