Officials maintain that the scenario is immaterial to the exercise, and was only thrown into the plan so that federal funding could be acquired for it:
This scenario and supporting suspect profiles are only in the plan in order to define this FICTITIOUS INCIDENT as a domestic terrorism event and to provide simulated intelligence that responding law enforcement would want and/or eventually request during the event,” Reed wrote. “There will be NO role-playing of racist protests, slander or hate crimes during the actual exercise … the only thing being exercised is the RESPONSE to a shooting, we are not exercising events leading up to the shooting.
In order to assist the PCEMA in finding plausible, real-world, situations for their exercises, I submit the following ideas:
- A multi-national drug gang shoots up a school in order to cow a recent influx of immigrants from their target nations.
- Two young men's extra-curricular groups begin shooting at each other at a community gathering in response to recent disputes over drug territory
- An ethnically and religiously motivated group of terrorists take over a school and begin to execute hostages when their spiritual leader is arrested and imprisoned.
- A shooter or shooters of unknown motivation attacks a school and is loose on the premises.
All of these scenarios would fit the bill, but the last one is probably the best generic "Get the boys, there's been a shooting at the school" scenario to train and test your emergency response capabilities. Speaking for us Caucasian gun-toting anti-illegal immigration males, the "Crazy White Boy With A Gun And A Grudge" premise is wearing a bit thin.

Unbelieveable... sigh...
Guess you saw where that exercise was canceled. Turns out us white, anti-immigrant gun nuts also threaten school principals.
No word yet of an investigation into the threats, or even a quote from one of them.
The school rep said there were complaints and emails from all over the mid-west about this scenario.
Jeez, you'd think we were unionized or something.
Remember, when we question them as to their motivations and such, we're threatening them.
it is the ongoing political warfare the present administration is waging against what they consider right wing extremist(which is everybody to the right of their point of view. When we have a DOJ that refuses to finish the job against the black panthers in philly. We have a DHS that considers everybody that don't agree with obama's policies to be right wing extremist. And if you are a veteran, you automatically get the extremist moniker. We have the powers that be criticize us for "being bitter" it is fashionable to bash the "right winger" What about the left wing? they do more violence and nothing is said. I guess because they believe the same thing.
