It was the deadliest attack in three years in the capital, which has been relatively calm since IS’s territorial defeat in late 2017.

Town Manager Scott Crabtree issued the following press release
Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree is pleased to announce that the town is taking the next step towards becoming a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) designated community by holding a virtual public listening session to review the findings from the first public MVP workshop and to gather additional input from residents.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the town is unable to hold the public feedback session in-person. Instead, a website has been created to host the virtual public listening session and gather public feedback remotely. The workshop, which can be accessed online any time by Jan. 6, 2021, was planned and facilitated by a core team of local officials, residents, and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC).
