Rockville residents will likely see tactical teams swarm the area near the Universities at Shady Grove and hear noises that sound like gunshots on Sunday.
But they shouldn’t worry — it will just be a drill.
Several Maryland police agencies are conducting a training exercise Sunday morning that will simulate a full-scale response to an active-shooter incident. Montgomery County police said the public should expect to see uniformed personnel, many law enforcement vehicles and to hear sounds of simulated gunfire in parking lots at the campus, located at 9630 Gudelsky Drive.
Authorities from Montgomery County, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Takoma Park, as well as the Maryland State Police and Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission Police, will participate.
