Antelope Memorial Hospital To Hold Active Shooter Drill

The staff of Antelope Memorial Hospital will hold an active shooter exercise in Neligh on Wednesday, February 20 beginning at 4:25 p.m.

"We want the community to be aware that the Nebraska State Patrol, Neligh Fire Department, Neligh law enforcement and Antelope County law enforcement will also be participating. We do not want the community to be alarmed by all of the activity. Unless you have business at the hospital, we recommend that you do not visit patients from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, February 20. Once again, this is only a test of our system," said RN Connie Knuth.

The Antelope County News will have coverage of the drill online and on social media. When the drill begins, the ACN will also post a reminder to alleviate any concerns.
