Escambia Authorities Conduct Active School Shooter Training (With Photo Gallery)

June 11, 2015

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Escambia County Schools and Escambia County Fire and EMS conducted a joint training exercise at Woodham Middle School this morning.

The training scenario portrayed an active shooter on the school campus. This exercise allowed law enforcement, public safety and school administrators to understand how their procedures work, how each department interacts during this kind of situation and identify areas of the response that may need to be improved.

(Some readers may find the photos of realistic training to be disturbing.)

    Sad , sad day in America when this has to be practiced in our schools. There was a time when our public schools offered marksmanship classes and kids could actually take target practice during school hours. Of course there also was a time when students and teachers alike could pray openly in the schools. . Now our kids are preyed upon and used as target practice. Not an even trade in my book.
