Man shot dead after trying to enter school
<p dir="ltr">A man who was seen trying to enter a primary school where a summer class was being held has been shot dead by police. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Robert Tyler White, 32, was spotted trying to get into numerous doors at Walnut Park Elementary School in Alabama when the principal raised the alarm. </p>
<p dir="ltr">A police officer who was working as a school resource officer encountered Robert trying to break into a marked Rainbow City police car near the school.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The officer raised the alarm before he was joined by one other colleague who attempted to arrest Robert.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The man was then shot dead after resisting and trying to take the police officer’s gun. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Officials did not reveal how many times they shot Robert, whether or not he was armed, and whether he was an intruder or passerby. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Gadsden City Schools Superintendent Tony Reddick said the school resource officer sustained minor injuries and all 34 children were safe. </p>
<p dir="ltr">"Our primary concern was just making sure that someone who wasn't authorised to be in our building does not enter and our kids are safe," he told local media. </p>
