College Station, Texas - Key emergency response personnel who were called to the scene of the Columbine High shootings will brief law enforcement officers and fire and emergency medical personnel from throughout the nation on what went right and what went wrong during a seminar on Nov. 1-2 at Texas A&M University.
The "Littleton, Colorado: Lessons Learned" seminar, sponsored by the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), will be held at The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. Keynote speakers include Chief William Pessemier of the Littleton Fire Department and Captain Dave Walcher of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. Gov. George W.

For security reasons, the sessions will be closed to the public and to the media. Speakers will be available to speak to the media during breaks and at assigned times. The seminar is expected to draw between 200 and 400 participants. Many of them also will be available to speak with the media.
