Fort training exercise pits first responders against ‘gunmen’
In a realistic drill designed to test their agility, New York City’s first responders invaded the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton to deal with a fake scenario involving two “gunmen” who “shot” six people and took hostages at the military post.
Cops, firefighters and emergency workers all played their roles in the drill, which took place on April 15, U.S. Army officials said.
Other participants played the roles of victims who had been shot.
