LANCASTER, Pa. —Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies will hold a joint exercise at Lancaster's Park City Mall on Sunday.
The South Central Task Force issued the following news release on Friday afternoon:
"On Sunday evening, May 18th at 6:00pm, hundreds of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies will descend on Park City Mall in Lancaster.
This will be the final part of a ten day regional exercise that began on Friday, May 9th at Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC), and has played out at HACC, Lancaster Public Safety Training Center and Fort Indiantown Gap.
The exercise, Wide Vigilance V, has had over three thousand participants, training and preparing for a wide variety of both natural and manmade disasters.
…prepare for a disaster that hopefully will never occur again, a mall shooting. With mall shootings taking place in Nairobi, Kenya and more recently in Columbia, Maryland, local responders felt the need to prepare.
"It is always the hope that we can train and be prepared for any disaster that may occur in our region, with the hope that these events never happen. We would not be doing a job though if we did not consider the preparation needed for every possible type of disaster," stated Greg Noll, Program Manager for the South Central Task Force.

What exactly are they preparing for? Is there something they’re not telling us?

I'd say they are preparing for exactly what it looks like .. mass casualties in an increasingly violent world. That being said, it's kinda interesting that these exercises have sometimes been scheduled and then real mass casualty events end up happening at the same time. Coincidence? I think so. But others think there is a connection.

WW3, you mark my words.
Given the recent threads on the same subject over the past month or so, yes, WW3
