From our partners at WOOD TV:
It’s the event most of us think happens somewhere else, but mass shootings and terror attacks in places like Newtown, Connecticut; San Bernardino, California; and Orlando, Florida prove that “it can’t happen here” just doesn’t apply.
Kentwood police recently hosted active shooter training drills at the now-vacant Sears store in the Woodland Mall. The big, empty space has multiple rooms, two stories, escalators and elevators. It’s the kind of environment and scenario emergency responders have faced in real-life situations.
Police from Grandville, home to RiverTown Crossings Mall, also took part in the training.
