Fenway wants volunteers for mock ‘wide-scale’ terror attack

WCVB

BOSTON —A simulated “large-scale terrorist attack” will be staged at Fenway Park this weekend.

On Sunday, the Boston Police Department, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, the US Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center and Fenway Park will practice and prepare for an active shooter situation.  

The exercise, which will run from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. Sunday, will include inaudible, simulated explosions and multiple rounds of realistic-sounding, simulated gunshots. During the drill various security technologies will be tested, including working dogs, metal detection and unmanned aerial systems.

“Fan safety is a topic we continually discuss and evaluate, and by participating in this exercise, led by Boston Police alongside state and federal agencies, we hope to gain valuable insight that may help enhance how we keep visitors safe at Fenway Park,” said Red Sox Director of Security and Emergency Services Charlie Cellucci.

Officials said there are no threats or any security concerns, and the event is just a drill.

Boston police will put out a casting call for more than 100 volunteers to act as fans.

  1. Weren’t they doing this before the marathon..really pumping up these “drills” USA !usa USA! Boston was a seat of patriotism and Revolution. No it’s just another sold out commie play ground.

  2. Why are people so stupid as to volunteer for this shit? Why are people so stupid that they are not even protesting or kicking these Nazi bastards out of their city? Why do they praise this shit like they are wannabe heroes in a Hollywood movie or someone who feels they are helping their government by doing it? Are they that FRIGGIN’ STUPID!!!!????
