Six months after a gunman opened fire on a Congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, city leaders honored the agencies that helped on that chaotic June morning.
“We received an overwhelming number of phone calls,” said Doug Campbell, who is Deputy Director of the Department of Emergency Communications. “You’re not expecting to be rewarded because that’s what your expected to do, but everybody did a great job and I am glad we were recognized.”
Campbell helped his team get the first responders to Eugene Simpson Stadium in Del Ray. That is where two Capitol Police officers were in a shootout with the gunman.
