JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Navy bases across the country, including Naval Station Mayport, conducted active shooter and terrorist drills on Wednesday, ensuring personnel are prepared for worst-case scenarios. After boarding the vessel and simulating the shooting of two Navy sailors, an active shooter alert was announced over the vessel’s loud speaker. The active shooter entered a classroom and took two other sailors hostage. Naval officials say active shooter drills like this one ensure all agencies are on the same page. Navy personnel use the drill to evaluate any weaknesses in their defenses on the base or on their ships.
