ANDALUSIA — Wednesday at an appearance formally announcing Dalton, Ga.-based Shaw Industries $250 million investment in its Covington County facility, Gov. Kay Ivey reacted to the ongoing situation in Hoover.

Hoover is at the center of turmoil after the Thanksgiving night shooting death of Emantic Bradford Jr. at the Riverchase Galleria allegedly by Hoover Police, which has resulted in widespread protests in various locations around the Birmingham suburb.

Ivey reiterated her faith in state authorities and urged for law enforcement to be supported.

“This is a homicide investigation,” she said to Yellowhammer News. “Law enforcement must be supported. The State Bureau of Investigation is in charge. And I trust them, and I wait for their report.”

State authorities assumed control of the investigation under the banner of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency after it was ceded by the Hoover Police Department and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
