Paulding Nationwide Support for Randall Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Driving through Paulding you see flags at half staff, signs in yards and buildings, window paint and many other ways of showing support for Randall Smith.
\nRandall died of injuries inflicted from gun shot wounds after a Kuwaiti born American named Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez drove into two military sites shooting seven men with four pronounced dead at the scene of the terror attack.
\nRandall Smith was a 2007 Paulding High School graduate who went on to play baseball on a scholarship to Defiance College. After a shoulder injury prevented him from continuing his baseball career, Randall joined the United States Navy. He was recently stationed in active duty in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
\nRandall leaves behind his wife Angie, whom he married in January 2011, and 3 young daughters.
\nPaulding shows their support for the fallen in their community! Rest in Peace.<\/p>\n
