PUEBLO — Pueblo first responders, including the Pueblo Police Department are preparing for the worst case scenarios as an active shooter drill was held at Pueblo Centennial High School on Friday.

This was held as a part of Pueblo School District 60's annual emergency exercise, and more than 100 people participated in the drill.

"If a school district doesn't have a plan, they're going to fail, we need to be prepared and at least have a plan in place and be able to know how we're going to respond in the event of an actual incident of this magnitude," said Dalton Sprouse with Pueblo School District 60.

The drill also gave first responders a chance to scope out Pueblo Centennial High School, since it is a new building. This way, they can be more prepared in case of an emergency.
