Police recently revealed Newtown, Conn., mass shooter Adam Lanza picked a school for his killing spree because he wanted to surpass the body count of a Norwegian mass killer, and knew a school presented a high concentration of targets. With that introduction from a trainer, area law officers recently received daylong training in responding to “active shooter” calls, specifically focusing on a school shooting. Officers had a morning lecture, followed by an afternoon session of practical training with student role players. Lt. Mike Herbes, regional/advanced trainer for the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, led the course.
