A good way to get your ass shot.

Hospital uses armed man in unannounced drill

How’s this for an ill-conceived emergency preparedness drill? An off-duty cop pretending to be a terrorist stormed into a hospital intensive care unit brandishing a handgun, which he pointed at nurses while herding them down a corridor and into a room.
The bright light at the hospital who approved this one needs to be encouraged to find another job. This is not how you run drills of this sort. The off-duty cop playing the terrorist is lucky someone didn't shoot him.

the off duty cop needs to find a new job as well.

brandishing, and pointing a handgun at people hopefully isn't representative of their safety and training at the local copshop

here in TX hospitals don't need terrorist drills.. they are weapon free safe zones so the schtoopid is multi-layer.

[heh, word verification 'reticked']

I doubt the off duty cop was doing this gig without the approval of the local copshop so maybe the local Chief needs to find new employment as well.
