"Just got a report of a man on horseback in front of Prairie View waiving* a gun. In route." (@11:32 a.m.)
I presume that's Prairie View elementary school in Rhome.
Edit @ 11:34 a.m. "Everything's OK. You can cancel those units." But it sounds like the school was briefly locked down.
(I wonder if this kind of thing happens all the time?)

*Edit: Make that "waving" instead of "waiving". Sorry. Legal spellings in my brain.

"...waiving a gun"
Waiving?! You mean he was voluntarily relinquishing his weapon? That IS a problem 'round these parts, pilgrim!

False alarm, just some meth/dope head that got aholt the wrong stuff! Thought he was seeing a man on a horse with a gun, turns out he was watching Yosemite Sam cartoons before he drove by the school.

I wonder if they'd lock down the schoolhouse if I walked in waving a Banjo?

12:17 They would if it were on your knee with a sticker that read, Alabami bound.
