Details are sketchy however the Gadsden EMA Facebook page contained the message saying “Please avoid the area of Walnut Park around the school. There is an ongoing police incident. All children at the school are safe. Please avoid that area and further information will be provided as needed.”
That post goes on to state – all children at Walnut Park School in the City of Gadsden program will use the side parking lot beside south 11th while the Board of Education program attendees will be bused to Gadsden City High School.
Everyone is being asked to bring identification to pick up children.
