Authorities in Alabama are conducting an investigation into the death of Tyler Goodson, a 32-year-old man who was shot and killed by police following a standoff at his Woodstock home. The incident took place on Sunday, as confirmed by a statement from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

According to authorities, officers from the Woodstock Police Department were initially dispatched to respond to a call for service at Goodson's residence just after midnight. The reason behind the call remains unclear. Upon arrival, officers encountered Goodson, who then barricaded himself inside the home, leading to a standoff situation.

During the course of the incident, it is reported that Goodson brandished a firearm at the officers. Responding to the potential threat, the officers discharged their weapons, fatally shooting Goodson. He was later pronounced dead, as stated in the official release.

Woodstock Mayor Jeff Dodson expressed his condolences, acknowledging that Goodson was well-known and loved by the community, including himself and the deceased's family. Dodson emphasized that the love and support for Goodson extended beyond his involvement in the popular podcast series, "S-Town."

"S-Town," which aired in 2017, featured the story of John B. McLemore and delved into the themes of murder, money, outcasts, and mystery in the town of Woodstock. Created by the same producers behind the successful shows "Serial" and "This American Life," the podcast garnered significant attention and attracted a wide audience.

The investigation into the fatal shooting has been handed over to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, who will work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

As further details emerge regarding this tragic event, authorities will aim to provide answers to the questions and concerns of the community. The impact of this incident on the legacy of the "S-Town" podcast is yet to be seen, but it remains evident that the shooting of Tyler Goodson has sent shockwaves through the local Woodstock community and beyond.
