Once Again Shooters Following "Active Shooter Drills"

From the San Bernadino shooting scene:


Bloomberg reports the training that went on in Paris on the day of those shootings:
Since the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January, from which 16 people died, Paris-area ambulance crews and emergency personnel have taken part in regular exercises designed to test their readiness for possible attacks. One such exercise was held on Friday morning, the day of the latest terror attacks. In a twist of fate, the simulated emergency was a mass shooting, according to Dr. Mathieu Raux, emergency room chief at the Pitié-Salpetrière hospital in Paris.
During Friday's exercise, trauma specialists used a centralized dispatch system to set priorities and direct victims to the ER best equipped to treat their injuries. Ambulance services made sure they were ready to roll, and hospitals verified that surgeons and staff could be quickly summoned to treat arriving victims. "We tested every link in the chain," Raux said. Because Paris emergency physicians work 24-hour shifts, virtually every ER doctor on duty in the city Friday night had already taken part in the exercise earlier that day.

Also note:
 It’s worth noting that an active shooter drill was taking place during the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 and the U.S. military was carrying out an exercise simulating aerial attacks against domestic targets using airplanes at the very moment that 19 hijackers reportedly crashed three commercial airliners into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001.

    1. Yeah, I've never found people really taking drills of any kind very seriously except for teachers in schools. Apart from them, nobody cares much about drills.

  2. Tell everyone! If they have active shooting drills around your neighborhood, time to take a trip for a few days!

  3. Apparently active shooter drills (rehearsals?) are a regular activity at this place. A nurse records police rushing into the building and she thinks it's just another drill until she's told it's not. Interesting she's at the facility 14 are shot dead and another 17 wounded with AK-47's reportedly and she didn't hear any shooting. I suppose these buildings will need to be demolished before anyone can see inside too.

  4. @6:59 - ... and pretty much every time. But all just by coincidence of course. And even more amazing than the emergency drill timing and location are, is drilling for the exact type of attack that occurs. 9/11 simulated planes hitting buildings; 7/7 and Boston bomb drills, Sandy Hook, Charleston, Paris, San Bernardino, and Aurora all active shooter drills nearby same day or even same time. Hm.

  5. One wonders if the shooters thought it was a drill as well, top secret, of course.

    1. In the book "You are the Placebo, Making You Mind Matter," Dr Joe Dispensa reports the story of hypnotism study where they put participants through several different hypnotic suggestions, each one more difficult than the last. Some people are more suggestive than others, so each round eliminated part of the test group until they got down to one person who completed every test. The last thing they suggested he do while he was under hypnosis was shoot a specific person coming out of a hotel with a gun he was to retrieve from a backpack. He did just that. The gun had blanks in it and the target was part of the show, but the possibilities are endless.

  6. Yeah. It was a "twist of fate". Yeah, that's the ticket alright.
