— Reports of injuries and casualties at Shiloh Christian School today were all part of a school-shooting drill held by the city Police and Fire departments.

The Police Department ran three exercises where two shooters entered the school, shot people in the building and were arrested or shot by officers.

"We learned a lot from the exercise," said Kathy O'Kelley, police chief. "We learned we must adjust our training, how the police and fire can coordinate together."

The exercises included finding the shooters, removing and treating the wounded and negotiating with the shooters for their surrender.
