The exercise pulled resources from dozens of departments, different cities, and agencies to create organized chaos in an effort to ready them for the worst.
At Ardmore Elementary School in Addison, the people with bloody wounds were acting, and their injuries were just makeup; all a test for school staff and first responders should a shooting happen at the school.
Her morning started with a gym full of teenagers and adults who've given up their summer on Friday to work out the kinks in their updated safety plan. First up was testing the flow of information between the school and law enforcement who'd be rushing in to help. Second, Addison used what's called the BluePoint System for the first time. Blue boxes that look like fire alarms are programmed to notify everyone from school staff to 911 when the box on the handle is pulled, without the need to make multiple panicked phone calls.
Selvik said the exercise should be a message to families that these communities are taking protecting their neighbors incredibly seriously.
