Training is Everything

Wow:

Mock gunman terrifies students

An armed man who burst into a classroom at Elizabeth City State University was role-playing in an emergency response drill, but neither the students nor assistant professor Jingbin Wang knew that.

"I was prepared to die at that moment," Wang said Tuesday.
...
After about 10 minutes, the class heard people talking outside the door, and campus police rushed in and subdued the man. "Even after this was over, nobody explained it," Wang said.


Good thing the simulated gunman waited ten minutes to be "apprehended" before he ever started fake killing anybody.

Of course, now we know how long any crazed lunatic has to do his thing before the campus police show up.

At least we got to see how the no-weapons policy at Elizabeth City State works. It kept this idiot from getting shot by the law-abiding students and teacher, who feared for their lives. Even fake rampaging gunmen are as safe.
