Los Angeles Sheriff Department deputies from different college campuses came together to train at Pierce College on April 2, 2014, to prepare in the event of an active shooter situation on community college campuses. About a dozen deputies trained behind the Great Hall to prepare for the LASD sponsored production “Active Shooter” that was filmed at Los Angeles Valley College over spring break. The LASD personnel used red and blue training pistols, maneuvering down the road in a diamond formation covering each other, simulating if they were to walk into a hostile situation actively looking for an armed suspect.
