Dr. Armstrong Letter to the editor: Would like to have known about active shooter drill, I could have helped
Dear Editor: I have just today learned of the community multi-agency drill to prepare for a mass shooting event. If I had known prior, I would have offered to participate. I am a resident of Fort Bragg. In January 1989, I was the school psychologist assigned to Cleveland Elementary in Stockton when a gunman opened fire on the playground at morning recess, killing 5 and wounding 30. I eventually became co-leader of the intervention project. My eventual role involved working with police, mental health, EMS, Press, hospitals, victim-witness services, and several other community agencies. I would be willing to share my experiences in the future, pro Bono. Mike Armstrong, Ph.D. Fort Bragg 458-205-1202
Editor’s Note- Dear Mike good point, but don’t feel too bad. The press, unless it was the pocket press release press was also not invited along
