Active shooter drill at Fort Hamilton
On Thursday morning, July 27, the Fort Hamilton Army Base conducted a full-scale active shooter drill, in close cooperation with several emergency responders that included New York City’s Police, Fire, EMS and Emergency Management Departments.
At 10:15 a.m., the base was under a lockdown order with the scenario of two armed assailants terrorizing and “killing” three people and a Fort Hamilton police officer, in addition to wounding 33 others.
There were two crime scenes, first on the bluff overlooking the Narrows and then at the Community Club. Both perps were killed while firing their weapons at police officers.
