WESLACO, Texas (ValleyCentral) — Parents with the Weslaco Independent School District will have the opportunity to participate in an active shooter response training to help prepare in the event of an incident. The training will be hosted by Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office retired senior deputy Ricardo Garcia, a news release from Weslaco ISD stated. Garcia will teach participants the ‘Run, Hide, Fight' model that can be used in the event of an active shooter in any public place. 'In law enforcement, we have spent a lot of time training schools but we have left out the parents and the community,' Garcia said in the news release.
