Police were called to the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham, Alabama, on Thanksgiving to respond to reports of an active shooter about 9:30 p.m. Twenty-one-year-old Emantic Bradford, Jr. was shot and killed by an officer who responded to the call. Now police are saying that Bradford was not the shooter and that the actual shooter is still on the loose. The gun believed to have been used in the crime was found inside the mall’s Santa’s Village.
Bradford was a graduate of Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School in Birmingham and was the son of a Birmingham police officer, according to Daily Mail. He served as a combat engineer in the U. S. Army. The Hoover Police Department says that they believe he was among several individuals who were involved in the argument that led to the shooting death of an 18-year-old and the injury of a 12-year-old and one other person, but that surveillance video from a mall shop revealed that he was not the gunman.
