It's only a drill

Law enforcement and emergency services agencies from around the region will be involved in an exercise this Saturday, playing out a scenario with an “active shooter” at Coulee Medical Center.

Other hospitals will also have personnel visiting for the drill.

The exercise will start about 9 a.m.

Visitors going in and out of the building will wear an orange sticker.

“We’re going to play it out as live as we can,” said CMC’s Brian McCleary. He wasn’t sure how long the drill would last.
