(SCOTTSBURG) - Students at Scottsburg High School spent Thursday morning training for an active shooter drill. Students and staff made fake scenarios look real.
The incident was to help train first responders, test emergency procedures and make adjustments as needed. Scottsburg Police, along with the Scott County Sheriffs Department, ambulances, first responders and emergency management, took part in the drill.
Everyone in the school participated in the training, which was complete with a fake active shooter and students screaming in pain as if they were shot. Officials led students out of buildings and onto buses as if the situation was real. The goal was to make everyone involved to see how a real situation would be handled.
This was the first time Scottsburg has held a full-scale simulated shooter drill that involved every agency.
