[Scan-DC] Police-involved shooting in Montgomery?

[oldsdoug at hotmail.com]

Thanks guys - at the time I wondered if it might be some sort of training or exercise, and I suspect you're correct, that it was... I did hear it on one of the "major incident" talkgroups... that in itself made me wonder, and it seems to me that the talkgroup was _not_ the one assigned to whatever area this was occurring.

Given all that, almost certainly not a "real" event.  Thanks again!

Doug

Based on the various scenarios that came up in a short amount of time, and how the dispatcher handled some of the transmissions, I figured it was a training exercise for her.
