The most I've seen all the signs. I've seen all the signs. They've been telling lies. They've been telling lies. Watching how I move. Watching how I move. I'll be keeping track. Now watch out for the snakes. Watch out for the snakes. Fort Worth officials say a potential copycat shooter wanting to emulate a shooting in the Midland Odessa area stopped because his father called police. According to investigators, a man called police because his 27 year old son withdrew hundreds of dollars from the bank and he had an intent to purchase a gun. Fortunately several businesses turned him away after he failed the background check. The Fort Worth police chief says the man admitted to officers has intent. The Fort Worth police chief Ed Crosse says the refusal from merchants and the phone call from the man's dad prevented a potential mass shooting in the Midland Odessa area stopped because his father called police. The Fort Worth police chief Ed Crosse says the refusal from merchants and the phone call from the man's dad prevented a potential mass shooting in the Midland Odessa area stopped because his father called police. In Gilroy sadly underscores that a critical incident can happen anywhere at any time. Which is why law enforcement says training for these kinds of events is crucial in today's world. In fact, as we speak, emergency responders in Fort Worth are running a drill of their own. It's where we find NBC five students. Yes, go live for us this morning outside of Trimble Tech high school where that's taking place. Tim, what can you tell us? Yeah, Laura, if you take a look behind me, they're just wrapping up right now. But this is meant to look like a very real scene and that's intentional on their part. They say the more realistic they can make a situation like this, the better. It helps them process everything going on so that God forbid the real thing happens. Well, they're able to think clearly and respond appropriately. Now the scenario they were running out here this morning, a shooter has gone inside a school and open fire. In addition to all the police officers, dispatchers, firefighters and ENT's you had here. Well, dozens of volunteers also helping with this training, playing the roles of the students and staff inside the school. And they're all taking it seriously. You've had officers running into the building to try to find the shooter. Others were tasked with getting survivors safely out of the building. Still more went in to help the victims. Now, just like the real thing, a lot of the emergency responders were given very limited information on what they were running into. Officials say practicing that in the moment decision making is what really helps when a real incident occurs. The saying goes, the body won't go where the mind has not been. So it's important for us to practice that. And when we do encounter a situation like that, it's not that overwhelming. We can respond appropriately. We can focus on what we've trained to do, what we need to do and accomplish our objective. Now they recorded the entire scenario, both inside and out and what they'll do now that the drill is over, is review that, figure out what worked, what didn't work. That way they can come up with a game plan that hopefully gives them the best possible outcome. Staying online, if you've been wondering, I'm doing fine. Made 150 in a year, I'm only 22, so don't pay me a ton. Back for the track, and I'm being moving up on my bachelor, but you know what being getting up in a bag, I'm a wrap on my life. Get in trouble, my master the craft and I never give it up. I put in time, I earned a shot, I worked it out, I made it mine, I fell in line and I came along way not the wrong. There was panic at an Arlington Mall tonight, reports of a shooting lit up social media. Good evening, America, Gonzalez, police with long guns could be seen securing the area around Boston quarter. But there was never any evidence, all they shooting, but there was never any evidence, all they shooting. Use for a star see Spencer is live on the scene. Darcy, what did people at the mall tell you? Really scary situation? Well, it certainly was, Erica, and the good news here is that it does appear to have been a scare. But you know, police have to take these things very seriously as though it is the real thing. And if you take a look behind me, you can see that there is still a very large police presence here around the mall. As officers are inside clearing the building as well as the parking garage, they got the call for a shooting inside the Regal Theater here tonight. They got here and checked it out at this point. It appears to be unfounded. Now, we want to show you some video you referenced that there were long guns here. We saw Arlington County police heavily armed inside and outside the mall here in Boston this evening. Police say they got the call for a shooting again in the theater area. And they've been out here on the scene for hours, but so far, like you said, no evidence of a shooting and no victims. It's tons of police out here. It looks like every officer on the force must have been here. What did you say? Like you said, no evidence of a shooting and no victims. It's tons of police out here.
