MIAMI, Okla. – Local health institutes and Miami Public Schools teamed up today to put on a large-scale mock shooting exercise.

Though it was only a drill, local law enforcement officers treated the situation as if it was real.

“We always can do a better job no matter how well it goes,” said Sergeant Sean McDonald. “One of the things we can do to better prepare to help our community is to engage in training like this so that we know how to respond most efficiently.”

Officials say the drill was designed to challenge local resources and personnel with numerous mock injuries and causalities.
