SCANG partners with Richland County Sheriff's Department for active shooter exercise
U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Larry Smith, 169th Force Support Squadron base training manager and Reserve Deputy with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department, acts as a sniper during an active shooter exercise. The South Carolina Air National Guard hosted an active shooter exercise combined with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, Eastover, S.C., Aug. 20, 2015. The exercise scenario involved an incident where armed individuals attacked entrance points on base and due to limited personnel on-duty, Richland County responded to assist with K-9, SWAT and explosive ordnance disposal units. Responders tracked the assailants through the woods on base and eventually neutralized the threat. (U.S. Air National Guard video B-Roll by Tech. Sgt. Caycee Watson/RELEASED)
