Weslaco ISD holds active shooter training for parents
Parents with the Weslaco Independent School District attended a Thursday active shooter training offered by the district.
The training was led by Ricardo Garcia, a retired deputy with the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office.
Garcia talked to parents about the school district's protocol when responding to a threat and informed them that going to their child’s school during a threat can make it harder for police to respond.
According to Garcia, the best thing parents can do is stand by and wait for updates from the school.
