RSN has allowed time for the information to be out that is accurate. From the news sources it appears the gunman was not shot and was taken into custody. The suspect was then transported to the hospital to be evaulated and then to jail. It appears all agencies are working together.
The suspect appears to have had a room at the hotel. There was a secret service agent shot but thanls to his bullet proof vest he is alive and well. for more information search the national news.
TAYLOR: Imagine you are a Houston County Sheriff Deputy and your Houston County 911 dispatches you as follows: 3804, Signal 7 ( wreck with no injuries ) possible Signal 8 ( wreck with injuries ) on Highway 605 near Highway 52… a black male wearing a leopard color DRESS was seen running from the scene and possibly attempting a burglary of a residence, Taylor Water Truck involved…
Deputy goes, black male wearing a leopard color DRESS? Yes!!!
And that was true except he was on the front porch because the lady who lived there with Shane blown him back out the door!!!
Houston County Sheriff Department, Taylor Volunteer Fire, Rehobeth Rescue and Taylor Police was at the county jail putting someone in jail on a cash only bond and then he responded.
Taylor Police is in charge of the accident investigation. The Taylor Water Truck was sitting still in a yard when the man in a dress struck the truck. Not sure if man in a dress went to jail or not. But it was funny listening to it.
GENEVA COUNTY: Many thought the Geneva County Sheriff race would be over on May 19. Well, the cards look like they are changing.
With over 24 years of dedicated service to the people of Geneva County at Geneva County Sheriff Department. Perez Bruner is intending to qualify as an Independent Candidate for Sheriff.
If you seek election as a Republican or Democrat candidate qualifying time has passed. Election will be on May 19 of the Republican nominee. Looking at May 19 the chosen one is expected to be David Hall. The candidate, Tim Forehand, research shows he has more baggage and airline full of passengers. And that baggage reflects a list of what appears to be dishonesty.
Perez Bruner, to seek election as an Independent has to have a certain number of registered voter signatures by May 19 in order to seek election. Those must be submitted by May 19.
Watching the party politics, many are opting not to seek election as a Republican or Democrat. Both parties are destroying their own parties. Watching Washington D.C., who do you believe? One news outlet reports one way and another way.
When Alabama Senator Harri Anne Smith was booted by the Republican party because she was honest with the voters Smith sought election as an Independent. The Republican party spend upwards between $ 8 and $ 10 million dollars in two elections attempting to beat Senator Harri Anne Smith. And she kicked their booties, not once but twice. The only way it changed was when Harri Anne Smith decided she was ready to retire.
So the Geneva County Sheriff race will not be decided until November 2026.
