Within minutes after getting under way Thursday, the annual hostile act drill at Will C. Wood High changed from reports of a “hostile intruder” to “reports of a man with a gun.”
At 1:02 p.m., as air-raid like sirens blared campuswide and as Vacaville Police Sgt. Kim Humbert and officer Joe Curtis heard reports over their radios, teachers and staff members locked down their classrooms from the inside. In keeping with drill protocol, several other Vacaville police officers made their way to the Marshall Road campus when they heard the reports.
