Legit Gov – by Lori Price

At the 1:30PM EST media conference, Howard County Police Chief Bill McMahon shared his perspective on the mall shooting in Columbia, Maryland, that left three dead (including the alleged shooter). The mall, thirty miles north of Washtington, D.C., is still an ‘active crime scene’ and remains under lockdown. He also shared the following information. “This has been an incredible and thoughtful operation,” McMahon noted. Later, he shared, “They have actually drilled on this in the past.’ …MSNBC host T.J. Holmes noted that the police chief stated that they had done numerous ‘active shooter’ drills at the mall.  

In an interview at 2:00PM EST, Holmes asked a witness, Youri Felix, a mall employee, if he ever participated in such a drill at the mall. In an interview with Howard County Executive, Ken Ulman, he said that his community has ‘stepped-up’ his active shooter training and conducted numerous drills for same. “Our SWAT team has drilled with us,” added Ulman… Mall worker and eye-witness Lauren Stapleton told an NBC reporter that after she heard shots, she called 911, but that 911 “could not be reached.”
