Evansville Police Officers and Vanderburgh County Sheriff's deputies are spending Spring Break inside the old North High School building, for what's called Active Shooter / Rapid Deployment Training. EPD Assistant Chief Chris Pew says officers are using "Simunition" in the shooting scenarios, which are paint balls. He says it's the first time in several years that police officers and sheriff's deputies have worked together on the training. He says they would likely work together in a real incident, something they hope they don't face.
