Cabell and Wayne County first responders practiced for how they would react to a shooting scenario at a high school.
Saturday, dozens of first responders gathered at Huntington High School for a disaster drill.
City, County and State police responded to a scenario of where four gunmen were on the loose, with a hazmat situation inside the building.
In the scenario, there were multiple students killed, and dozens of others injured.
