WHITFIELD COUNTY, Ga. — Georgia high school teacher Randal Davidson is accused of firing a shot inside a Dalton High School classroom Wednesday morning.
Authorities said Davidson barricaded himself inside the room during third period and blocked the school's principal from entering.
According to the school's website, Davidson wast the voice of the Catamounts for 18 years.
Police spokesperson Bruce Frazier said Davidson, 53, had been with the school since 2004. He was known to many in the areas as the play-by-play voice for the school's football team.
He was recognized in 2012 as the school’s top teacher for his on-traditional path to teaching, according to Dalton Public Schools.
