TRUSSVILLE Members of the Trussville Police Department gathered at Hewitt-Trussville High School on Thursday, July 22, for what is now called “Active Killer Training.”
Traditionally known as “Active Shooter Training,” the focus on the preparation technique has now changed to consider all types of killings.
“We’re trying to get away from using ‘active shooter’ because that implies that they have a gun, when in fact, they can kill somebody with all kinds of weapons, other than a gun,” said Chief Eric Rush.
Trussville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Pattie Neill said she is pleased with the partnership the school system has with the city in order to ensure the safety of all students.
Students in Mrs. Gowen, Mr. Bolin, Mr. Kellough, and Mr. Crabtreeâs classes at Waverly Intermediate School participated in STEM design activities. Each third grade class read a book together and collaborated a project. Each had the option to either built a treehouse, house, or ferris wheel.
The students worked together to design their project, build it and complete a journal writing. Waverly City Schools Superintendent Mr. Ed Dickens was invited to view their hard work and final projects.
