Dadeville police chief relives events of April 15

Lizi Arbogast Gwin / TPI Dadeville Police Department chief Jonathan Floyd, far right, looks onto the scene of the April 15 mass shooting in Dadeville.

Police officers are trained to be prepared for anything and everything. But it’s one thing to be trained, and it’s another thing to have to actually do it.

Dadeville Police Department was the first on scene of the April 15, 2023 shooting in downtown, and there’s nothing that could’ve fully prepared the officers for what they found.
