AKRON, Ohio (WJW) – For the first time in a combined exercise, first responders and educators in the Akron Public Schools on Wednesday conducted a joint drill, preparing for the tragic potential of an active shooter inside a school building. “What we are doing is something new between public safety for the city of Akron and Akron Public Schools and its cohesive training,” said the Mayor’s Emergency Management Advisor and former Fire Chief Joseph Natko.
