Suspect Fatally Shot Outside Alabama Elementary School

Daily Wire-

A man exhibiting aggressive behavior outside of an Alabama elementary school was fatally shot on Thursday morning.

According to a report from AL.com, a resident living close to Walnut Park Elementary School near Birmingham, Alabama, called police “reporting a suspicious man outside the school.” The man was “aggressively” trying to enter vehicles and multiple doorways. At the time, 34 children were inside the school for a summer literacy camp and went into lockdown, Gadsden City School Superintendent Tony Reddick told the outlet.

“A school resource officer on site responded, talked with the man and called for backup. When a second officer arrived, an altercation ensued,” AL.com reported. “The suspect was then fatally shot. Officials have not said if the man was armed.”

Dozens of officers from multiple agencies responded “within minutes,” the outlet added. One officer suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation is continuing to look into the incident.
