The situation during the scenario was one that all citizens dread the most-an active shooter in a school. All members of the training scenario pulled together and successfully achieved their goal, preserving the lives of the innocent.

Washington County First responders say they know the importance of training and it was affirmed and put into action with the exercise. This scenario was the first of many multi-agency training scenarios to come in the future.
