About 50 police officers from Berks County spent the day preparing for the unthinkable.


Police suited up and took part in an active shooter drill at Berks Technical Institute in Wyomissing.


Some criminal justice students came to school to be part of the drill, even though they're on break.


The goal was to help police and future law enforcers learn how to react when an armed gunman is on the prowl.


"Basically, the theme of this drill is empowerment over physical harm, and that is that the students will be empowered to make the proper decisions in an emergency situation.," said Christine Bitler, criminal justice program director.


The students created several scenarios inside the school to see how police respond to different situations.
