Emergency crews tested with 'terror attack' drill

An exercise to test the "ability of emergency workers in dealing with a terrorist attack" was carried out in Lincoln earlier.
It was held at the University of Lincoln and simulated someone driving into a crowd and then stabbing people.
Participants included more than 200 personnel, including police, fire and rescue and the ambulance service. More than 60 volunteers played the role of victims.
Assistant Chief Constable Chris Davison, from Lincolnshire Police, said the exercise showed they were "in a good place to be able to respond as and when they happen".

The exercise began at 11:00 and concluded at 13:00 BST, with the area closed off.
It was organised as part of a general training programme and not in response to any specific intelligence or threat, Lincolnshire Police added.
ACC Davison said while terrorist attacks were "particularly rare" in the county, it was still "hugely important" to be prepared.
He said: "We're not immune here in Lincolnshire.
"People automatically think of big cities as being targets because they're so densely populated and while that is true it's not out of the question that something like this could happen in a less busy city.
"The national threat remains at 'substantial' and so we have to ensure we are as prepared as we can be in the event that terrorism does come to our county."
He said there were no "particular threats" to the University of Lincoln, it was just chosen because it was a "good venue".

East Midlands Ambulance Service care assistants Becca Howseman and Phoebe Mather played two of the key roles in the exercise.
Ms Howseman said the role included "causing chaos, confusion and being the barrier between medics and the main casualties".
Ms Mather added: "One day we will be the people who are in the ambulances actually treating these patients.
"For us, it's a lot of exposure seeing how everything works and how it's all put together."
