NEWBERRY COUNTY, S.C. — Newberry County residents near Pomaria should not be alarmed when area law enforcement holds active shooter training exercises next week.
From Monday, June 26, through Friday, June 30, Newberry County Sheriff's Office will conduct Active Assailant Response Training at Pomaria-Garmany Elementary School, 7288 US 176 in Pomaria.
Those who live or travel in the area should expect a significant law enforcement and first responder presence near the school, along with simulated radio traffic and alerts. Trainees will use "simunitions" (non-lethal ammunition rounds) and other training devices to recreate an active shooter environment.
Residents can expect training to last the entire week.
