Days before the shooting occurred, Gibson attended a Metropolitan Development Commission meeting to advocate for the rezoning of 2505 North Sherman Drive, where the developer Metrobloks LLC looks to build a data center and other business offices.

When Gibson stepped up to speak at the meeting on Wednesday, he was met with boos from the crowd.

"There are real benefits tied to this development. Construction is expected to support roughly 300 jobs over a three-year period," Gibson said at the meeting.

Shortly after Gibson voiced his support for the rezoning project, the room was asked to stand up if they disapproved of the project — and the majority of the crowd could be seen rising to their feet.


There's never any excuse for violence. I hope they get the perps. But, the people are angry.
