Active shooter training drill tonight at Northern Cass School

(Fargo, ND) -- The Cass County Sheriff's Department is putting on an active shooter training drill tonight at Northern Cass School.  

"Part of it will be a PowerPoint presentation, then the whole goal of that is to get everyone on the same page and understand what resources everyone has, what they bring to the table, what they're capabilities are," said Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner. 

Jahner says after the PowerPoint review the drill will then turn to the active response training, with a person playing the role of "shooter" inside the school, along with victims appearing as though they are injured. A key part of the event will include practicing cooperation with rural fire departments and EMS responders. Additional training drills are planned for Maple Valley in Tower City, Kindred and Casselton.
