Standoff at Rainbow City Daycare Thursday Morning

A Gadsden man is in custody following a standoff this morning in Rainbow City.

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin said dispatchers received a 911 call at 8:13 a.m. at Susan’s Daycare on Alabama 77 in Rainbow City.

Callers said a white man was acting strangely and “speaking of things that did not make any sense.”

Rainbow City police responded, but the man threatened to take his own life with a knife.

Within minutes, Etowah County deputies, Gadsden police, Southside police, Rainbow City fire and the Etowah County Joint Special Operations Group responded.
