The University of Louisville School of Medicine active shooter drill March 30 scattered 40 victims across the HSC Campus as part of the Disaster Medicine Certificate Program.
The drill was truly live action, with 70 participants acting and learning. Two remote explosive devices were detonated at 9:13 a.m. to simulate a bomb with a potentially hazardous gas leak.
Following the two explosions, two shooters entered the corridor with AK-47 simulators loaded with blanks. They carried backpacks of ammunition, wore masks and had bullet-proof vests.
The perpetrators shot several rounds outside before entering the building where observers could hear continued gunfire.
