'Not if, when': First responders in Snohomish train for mass shooting [View all]

SNOHOMISH — A “disgruntled employee” ran around with a gun and a camouflage bulletproof vest Wednesday north of Snohomish, pointing the barrel at people around him.

But the blue plastic gun was just a prop. The entire scene was fake.

Twenty police and fire agencies came together in the rain to act out an active shooter scenario at the Ray Lee Brown training facility, 6425 S. Machias Road.

“I like training like this,” said Andrew Sunagel, who role-played the part of the “active shooter.” “The more you train, the more fluid you get. The more realistic it becomes, the better it is for everybody.”

When I went to school we used to have fire drills. These days students have active shooter drills.
