 [FoxNews] Police in Uvalde, Texas hosted a training on what to do during an active shooter situation at a school just two months before a gunman stormed Robb Elementary, killing 21.The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Department hosted an "active shooter scenario training" in March, just two months before the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday that left 19 children and two adults dead. "Active Shooter for School-Based Law Enforcement" was the training hosted by the school district's police department on March 21, with "Peace Officers, School Resource Officers, and campus security officers" encouraged to attend. The training was hosted at Uvalde High School, and covered topics such as "Stop the killing - solo response to active shooter events," "Stop the Dying: Transitioning to First Aid and Evacuation of the Injured," as well as an "Active shooter scenario training and evaluation." Pictures from the training posted on the school district police department's Facebook page show officers role playing different scenarios that would be encountered during an active shooter situation. One photo from the drill shows officers in the hallway as individuals lie on the floor pretending to be dead or injured. The training was mandated by Texas House Bill 2195, which states that school resource officers must complete training on active shooter situations. According to a course guide for the active shooter training program, one of the objectives states that "the student will be able to compare/contrast an active shooter event and a hostage or barricade crisis." "A simple barricade crisis develops when an armed actor(s) isolates themselves with little or no ability to harm innocent others. Barricaded subjects pose the greatest threat when attempts are made to enter the space and subdue them," the course guide goes on to state.
