“Sad that we need to plan for this but awesome Rescue Task Force-active shooter in a nightclub training at Timothy’s,” Chatman posted on Twitter.

The training session was held just one day before more than 2,000 freshmen will arrive on campus.

The training was conducted at a bar in order to better simulate a possible real-world situation, Chatman said.
