Seeing police around Coors Field? There’s an active-shooter drill at the stadium Wednesday

Police and other first responders will be in and around Coors Field on Wednesday as the baseball stadium conducts an emergency exercise in conjunction with the city of Denver and the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Colorado Rockies officials said. The Denver Post reported earlier this year that Wednesday’s exercise will simulate “an attack on Coors Field,” according to an email sent to a Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management mailing list in February. The practice scenario involves a simulated explosion followed by an active shooter during a regular season Rockies game at Coors Field, the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency wrote in an intake form seeking volunteer actors in February.
