Boise Towne Square, meet the SWAT team

By Lee Vander Boegh

BOISE – When it comes to tactical battle training, location is everything; especially if that location includes a food court.

The Idaho Statesman is reporting this morning that emergency service crews conducted an intense training session at the Boise Towne Square mall in Boise last night.

According to idahostatesman.com:

“The training involved a worst-case scenario, an active shooter with multiple injuries to citizens. Boise police, fire and EMS responded as if the situation was real, including practicing tactical maneuvers designed to quickly locate the suspect and stop the threat. Officers then worked with Fire and EMS to get medical attention quickly to the injured.”

Sounds like a fun night. Stop the bad guys, save the innocent and then enjoy an Orange Julius.
