Police reported that at approximately 1:30 p.m., officers were called to the scene of gunfire. When officers discovered gunfire in an apartment in the 4400 block of Patton Road, they concluded that the source was a nearby unit across the breezeway.

According to a statement from the Huntsville Police Department, White was contacted by members of the Crisis Response and Negotiations Team, but communication finally ceased. According to the statement, the SWAT Team of the Huntsville Police Department subsequently went to the house and gave White verbal orders to turn himself in. White obeyed and was securely taken into jail.
White is accused of firing a gun into a building that was occupied.
