Nothing like an Active Shooter on Base....

Eric, been thinking about you since this broke. Im up at Aberdeen,and i do the safety and emergency action stuff for my company...worry about this all the time.

stay safe, and hope its another false alarm!

We still do not know what transpired but I figure in time we will learn. We've taken active shooter training for years so it didn't really feel much different than an exercise. Of course hearing gunshots would probably change that.

One of only two meetings that take me on post each week and I was lucky enough to partcipate in that lovely event. Whoever called that in should be charged with paying back all the money it cost the government to keep 40k people on location and not working during that 3 hr period.... guess that just means they'd be life in prison and further costing taxpayers though. Glad no one was hurt though, there were a lot of rumors flying around!

If it was a hoax then i agree they should be charged. If it was an honest mistake then I think charging would do more harm long term. We are always told "if you see something, say something" and charging someone for a mistake would make future reporting less likely. It would be tragic if a real incident went unreported at first becaue someone was worried about being charged the cost of the response effort. just my two cents.

Very good point... I was still so aggravated by the situation I didn't have that perspective in mind.
