Gainesville Police training on shooting simulator
Equipment puts officers in shoot or don't-shoot situations
0713SHOOT4
Gainesville Police Department's new shooting simuator uses special weapons that are fitted with lasers to record the movements of their weapons.
After pulling over a suspected drunk driver, Gainesville Police Officer Griggs Wall tells the man to stay in the car to no avail. “Take your hands out of your pocket,” Wall says in nine iterations. Then the driver draws his weapon and gunshots are heard, all before the simulator stops and Wall holsters his weapon.
