About a month ago our local police department hosted a SWAT competition. Each team had different tasks around town. The two I covered were in a high school. It was quite a bit of fun to cover.
All but #12 were taken in during the active shooter/hostage stage. Made it a little hard to get shots because they were firing plastic bullets. I couldn't stand in front of them. I think I still got some decent shots though.
Let me know what you think.

12. This one was crazy. Two local cops were playing a husband who was holding his wife hostage. The team had to clear each room as silently as possible. When they got into our room they initially turned towards the "husband" and "wife," and then turned at the reporter and I not knowing we weren't part of the drill. Started yelling at us to get our hands up. I wasn't sure what to do. Keep shooting and possibly get shot by a plastic bullet or put my hands up. Kept shooting. Luckily they didn't fire.

Thanks for looking, folks!
