Description
At 22h on August 19th 2017, just after Barcelona & Cambrils attacks, and with the Spanish Vuelta about to start from Nimes (France), media and social networks in Spain began talking about an active shooter situation in the train station of Nimes.
Cpt. Alfonso from SDIS30 (also coordinator of VOST Europe) was on shift in Nimes, and Iratxe Gomez was monitoring the situation from Spain, and we were able to quickly relay verified information. A communication from the Gard Prefecture, coordinated from the MSGU Cell of SDIS 30 under the responsibility of Lt. Col. Paletti, allowed to close the situation, which was nothing like an active shooter situation.
