Sul Ross State University's Law Enforcement Academy held its Active Shooter Class Friday, Feb. 4. The training is an in-service class that is a requirement for Texas Peace Officers. The class is taught by Sgt. Dean McCann, a retired SWAT Sgt. from Odessa police department. It teaches law enforcement to immediately pursue and contain the shooter at the earliest opportunity with as little injuries and casualties as possible. The class was established sometime after the shooting incident at Columbine High School, Colo., in order to prevent such tragedies from happening again. Sul Ross students were invited to participate in the class as bad guys, hostages, and victims. (photos by Peter Dindinger & Jason Hennington)
