Quick-thinking decisions must happen fast during active shooter situations and are now under increased scrutiny as more people record first responders on the job.
SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Law enforcement agencies from across Orange County participated in a training Wednesday at the former OC Register building for an active shooter scenario.
"The expectations and the goals are that they not only understand the tactics, they understand the training that they're receiving, but most importantly, the decisions that need to be made as a first responder to an event like this," Lizardi said. Parents are heard pleading with officers to make entry, but investigators say after arriving on scene, more than an hour passed before officers breached the door ending the standoff with the gunman.
The Santa Ana Police Department said this type of preparation is unique to these situations and participants are learning to act without hesitation to save lives.
