A realistic “active shooter” training exercise will take place next week on Georgia Southern University’s campus, staging reenactments of dangerous scenarios. As students take their spring break leaving the campus empty, law enforcement officers will train on how to respond and react to an incident where a gunman is loose inside a building on campus. The exercise is a partnership between the Statesboro Police Depart-ment, University Police Department and a federal agency that requested its identity be kept confidential, said Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner.
