On October 7th the Upper Township Primary School was the subject for a mock active shooter drill. The drill was preformed in order to test the local emergency response teams. It was carried out in real time over the course of three hours. The actor portraying the shooter fired blanks and victims had on prosthetics and makeup to make it look as realistic as possible. The Cape May County Prosecutors Office, Upper Township and Ocean City fire departments, the New Jersey State Police, the Cape May County Office of Emergency Management, AtlantiCare, and Upper Township Emergency Medical Services all participated in the event.
