A shooting reportedly took place at the Waffle House at 1000 Rainbow Drive in Gadsden, Alabama on Friday night. Scary videos from the scene of the incident were shared as well.
Meanwhile a video showed massive police presence. However, the Gadsden police is yet to comment on the matter. There’s no information on the possible suspect or details of injury at the time of writing. “Yall heard those gunshots?? Yall safe FBF?,” another wrote . One worried person remarked “Were there children?? A lot of Gadsden city kids had just left the game. They both got quiet then asked “mom, why did you just say that?! “Um, as a safety measure? “Omg mom. That’s so scary! Don’t say that. “Well, it’s true. And I need to know where you’re at and when you’re coming and going. “We’ve heard stuff like that all day. She elaborated to us more after getting home tonight. And it hit me. My whole life. And I’ve learned to listen and take it seriously. Something was trying to get their attention and warn them, ALL DAY. Which is sad when your child is afraid to go to their own schools functions. But they went on. She called me while there. She messaged me to lmk they had money and were going to get food from Waffle House and would be home afterwards. The shooting happened right after. I’m grateful someone was looking out for our girls.
Anything can happen in the 1.5 miles from the school to our house and if yall aren’t home within 10ish minutes, I’ll know to come looking for you. Because I have these same things happen to me at times. Because he saw their location was at meighan and wanted to know why, g called her to check in at 10:30.
Yet another said “Just saw someone get shot here in Alabama waffle house on rainbow drive…”. “She said they kept hearing things all day about guns, shootings, police, and things like that. I talked to them as they were about to get ready to go to the GCHS game, and I said “let me know when yall get there and just shoot me a text when yall start to head home. “I know but the way you said it is scary! They already had said they were unsure about going at all. I told them to start taking the signs and warnings like that, seriously from now on,” the post added .
Another individual put out a long post on the shooting, explaining their situation. “So grateful Eva so much disdain for crowds and being around a lot of people. The shooting happened just after they arrived at the WH on Meighan. Believing the children who were injured will be ok,” they wrote.
Because that’s the only reason her and our chosen daughter didn’t stay a Waffle House to eat.
