Hoover Police Investigating Shooting at Walk-On’s

On June 14, 2025 at 1:40 PM the Hoover Police Department responded to Walk-On’s on Tatersall Park Drive on the call of a shooting involving two employees. Responding officers arrived within two minutes and found a 22-year-old pregnant female with a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. The victim was transported to UAB Hospital by the Hoover Fire Department for further treatment and is expected to survive. However, her unborn child was killed in the shooting.

A 36-year-old male employee of Walk-On’s was detained at the scene and was identified as the shooter. Detectives are still investigating the circumstances that led to the shooting, but preliminary accounts indicate reckless behavior with a firearm was involved on the part of the suspect. Detectives are currently in consultation with the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office and expect formal charges to be filed on Monday morning. The suspect is being held in the Hoover City Jail and will be identified when he is charged.

“Never get tired of doing little things for others, sometimes those little things occupy the biggest parts of their hearts.”

Sometimes, ‘workin the beat’ is simply stopping to get some lemonade.

Officer Wiggins and Officer Swann saw this lemonade stand in the Green Valley area and could not pass up the chance to spend some quality time with these cute kiddos.

If you see a lemonade stand in your neighborhood, don’t just pass by it. Take the time. Get some lemonade. Encourage. It’s the little things that can make a big difference.

“Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate.”

Last week, HPD School Resource Officers spent a week down in Orange Beach for The Alabama Association of School Resource Officers 2025 Safe Schools Conference.

Just because school is out, doesn't mean they take a break from training on how to keep our schools safe. There were over 1,000 SROs, principals, school nurses, and counselors from all over the state that attended this year’s conference. The safety of your children is our top priority!

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

This text message is making the rounds in our community as well as surrounding areas, and it’s 100% FAKE. If you get a text claiming to be from the “Alabama DMV” with threats about your license or traffic tickets, do NOT click the link and do NOT respond.

There is no such thing as “mydmv.alabama-govye.icu” . It’s a phishing scam trying to steal your personal info. There's also no such thing as the Alabama "Department of Vehicles". Alabama has ALDOT, or Alabama Department of Transportation.

Nice story from the Regions Golf Tournament a few weeks ago.

On the day of the Pro-Am, each playing group has at least one Hoover officer assigned as security for the entire round. Some groups have more than one depending on the crowds that follow the celebrities.

On hole number nine, a Hoover officer was standing by a golf cart waiting for his players to tee off. He saw a boy, probably ten or eleven years old, walking tentatively towards him. The boy was looking around, as if trying to find something. Or in this case, someone. He was wide-eyed and had a scared look on his face. This officer, being a dad of a little boy about that age, knew something was wrong. In the midst of a large crowd of people, the boy had gotten separated from his father.

When he got to the officer, the boy asked, “Can you help me”? He then started to cry. “I can’t find my dad.” The officer kneeled down to eye level and took the boy’s hand. “Hey buddy. Everything’s going to be just fine. I will absolutely help you, and together we won’t stop until we find your dad.”

The officer asked the boy some questions so the search could begin. He answered every one like a champ. The officer said, “Hey big guy. Look at me.” With tears in his eyes the boy looked directly at the policeman. The officer said, “I am so proud of you. You are so brave. You got lost, and you knew exactly what to do. You found a police officer to help. Now let’s go and find your dad.”

Within a few minutes, the boy and his dad were reunited. The policeman told dad, “I am so proud of your son. He got a little scared when he couldn’t find you, but he knew exactly what to do. He found me.” Dad was very grateful and the two shook hands.

If you ever need us, we’ll be there.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your family.

We are getting reports of various pest control companies in our area going door-to-door soliciting business.

Currently, there are exactly ZERO pest control companies that have anyone on file with the City to be able to conduct business in that manner.

These folks MUST have a City of Hoover Solicitor and Peddler permit, and it must be plainly visible on their person. No excuses. No, “it’s at the office.” No, “my manager has it.”

If someone comes to your door soliciting business, and they don’t have the required permit, call Dispatch: 205-822-5300. For delayed reporting, for example more than 10-15 minutes or longer since they were at your door, call 205-444-7700.
