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

The incident happened at about 9:30 a.m. outside Walnut Park 
Elementary School where a summer literacy camp for elementary-
age children was taking place. Gadsden City School 
Superintendent Tony Reddick said 34 children were in the school 
at the time of the incident.

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 door ways 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.

As of 10:30 a.m., the man’s body remained in front of the school 
under a white sheet near the bicycle racks, not far from the 
front entrance.

All children in the school at the time of the incident had been 
safely picked up from Gadsden City High School within 20 minutes 
of being taken from the school. Reddick said most of the 
children and instructors did not know what had happened when 
they were transported.

“We’re just so thankful that none of this involved the 
children,” Reddick said. “Everyone followed the safety protocols 
that we’ve drilled on.”

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of 
Investigation will lead the probe. Its findings will be turned 
over to the Etowah County District Attorney’s Office.

“At the end of the day, the good news is no one made it into the 
building, and the kids were safe,” Horton said.
