Photos by Tech. Sgt. Daylena GonzalezThe 86th Security Forces Squadron conducts active shooter training July 11 at Ramstein Middle School. An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people, most often in populated areas. In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. In some cases, active shooters use improvised explosive devices to create additional victims and to impede first responders. The training created a realistic environment for first responders to react and secure threats.
