Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough Jr. said, "While we all agree that this incident was deployable and outrageous to the community, and community organizations. All of us should be outraged when those who educate us can be assaulted. We should hold those who teach and educate our children to the highest regard. Our hope and our prayer at the FCSO, is that we recognize, that we as a community, must bring order not only to our community but our children. We are praying for wholeness for those students who witnessed this and the educator involved.
