Hundreds of high school students, first responders and law enforcement officers reported to Camp Williams on Tuesday morning to be the “victims” in the drill. They laughed and chatted with each other as red paint was applied to their faces and clothing. After receiving cards with information about their character‘s medical condition, they took their places as officers revealed the scenario.

In the drill, police staged a vehicle that had purportedly driven into a crowd of protesters. Once the vehicle stopped, the scenario continued with multiple active shooters who fled into trees.
