First responders to participate in active attack response training in San Marcos

SAN MARCOS -- Local first responders will participate in an active attack response training will take place at Goodnight Middle School, located at 1301 Highway 123 in San Marcos, on June 6.

The training is scheduled to begin at approximately 9 a.m. and will conclude around 5 p.m. During the training, Broadway Street will be closed between Highway 123 and Staples Road, and access to the Goodnight Middle School parking lot will be limited.

The exercise will involve a coordinated effort among emergency responders, including firefighters, emergency medical services and police officers from San Marcos Police, San Marcos Fire, San Marcos-Hays County EMS and others. During the training, residents should expect an influx of emergency personnel and equipment in the area. Additionally, residents near the campus may hear sirens and simulated gunshots, which will be played from recordings to create a realistic training environment for first responders, or see volunteer actors with fake injuries visible.
