Active shooter training will be held on the campus of Buford High School located at 4290 Tabernacle Road, Lancaster, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, and Thursday, Aug. 1. Training will be led by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department. Lancaster County School District personnel and multiple first responder agencies and departments will participate.
The training will be very realistic with a lot of activity and noise including simulated gunfire in and around the school. However, no live ammunition will be present on site. A helicopter might be in the air during a portion of the exercise. The public is advised that this is a training exercise and not an actual public safety emergency.
The campus of the school will be inaccessible to the public on the training days. Agency personnel, vehicles and equipment will stage on and near the campus during the training, including in the parking lot of Buford Middle School adjacent to the football stadium.
Signs alerting the public to the training exercise will be posted on Rocky River Road near the school, and Tabernacle Road will be closed from Rocky River to Smokey Starnes roads during the training. Motorists should use caution when driving through the area.
The event is closed to the media.
Buford Middle football will begin on August 2,2024 6-8 p.m. Anyone who is interested in playing football this year should report to the annex behind the middle school. Players will need to have an updated sports physical and other paperwork signed in order to participate. Players will need to wear shorts, tshirt, and cleats for practice. If you did not attend the summer practice and weightlifting, you will be required to stay after practice to do extra conditioning.
