The Dadeville City Council met for the first time since the mass shooting that claimed the lives of four people and injured dozens more on April 15.
Mayor Jimmy “Frank” Goodman opened the council meeting by praying for healing and guidance.In addition to grieving, city officials are also having to combat misinformation. A rumor has spread that the city pulled the business license of the dance studio where the shooting happened. The mayor called it an “outright lie.”Councilwoman Brownie Caldwell said she believes social media could be behind the rumor.
Caldwell is also a bus driver and teacher at Dadeville High School. She is urging kids to return to school. “The first couple of days we had very low attendance, especially from our upper classmen, but today was better,” she said.“It’s OK to laugh again. It’s OK to smile. It’s OK to talk about it,” she said. “All of that will begin the process of healing.”
Dadeville officials also thanked local law enforcement, first responders and hospital staff for their response to the attack.
