Dennaris Coleman, a suburban Joliet native, said the initial chaos was replaced with a response many first responders have practiced for.
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. --, the emergency triggered a massive response among law enforcement agencies.
"First thing we do is we engage with the locals. They are the first responders, and we, per se, are the second responders. We don't wait until the incident happens to try and figure out who is in charge. We have ongoing relationships with our counterparts, both state, local and federal, so that when we do show up, we don't have that power grab of who's going to do what," Coleman explained. "We have teams that are on standby 24/7, of all our specialty teams.
Coleman revealed to the ABC7 I-Team that the local FBI agents had just trained for an active shooter attack. "And, a lot of times, those determinations aren't made in the initial phase. the prosecutors start talking about whether they're federal or local to determine based off the evidence we've collected, what we know, which avenue is the best avenue to go with," Coleman said.
