1) It took police officers in New Zealand 36 minutes to catch the terrorist who murdered 50 people in two Christchurch mosques last week. Dramatic footage shows that just two officers—only one of whom had a gun—apprehend the suspect after his bloody rampage. We are now learning that this response time would have been longer, but police happened to be conducting a drill nearby practicing for a similar attack.
Take special note of the fact that the police just happened to be conducting a drill nearby, and "Police in New Zealand don’t typically carry firearms, much less dress in tactical gear, so officers holding a drill with all their tactical equipment and weapons at the ready was a helpful coincidence indeed."
2) Recall the Paris attack in 2015. "Paris-area emergency personnel and ambulance crews were taking part in a simulated emergency exercise on the very same day. The exact nature of the drill was a simulated mass shooting attack, according to Dr. Mathieu Raux, emergency room chief at the Pitié-Salpetrière hospital in Paris."
3) Recall that "during the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., North American Aerospace Defense Command’s (NORAD) was in the midst of a training exercise called Vigilant Guardian, which “coincidentally” simulated planes being hijacked by terrorists.
A story in Aviation Week made clear the connection between the 9/11 attacks and the NORAD drills taking place at virtually the same moment".

https://www.aviationnow.com/content/publication/awst/20020603/avi_stor.htm4) Recall the London subway attacks on 7/7 also encompassed drills happening only days prior to that terrorist attack. A report by the Daily Mail stated: "Police completed a terror training exercise, which envisaged an attack on London’s transport network just days before the 7/7 atrocity, an inquest heard today."

PS - Note the usual calls for more gun control by government officials, as well as voluntary surrender of firearms by New Zelander's.

Not saying that there is any correlation between mass shootings and gun control/confiscation. Of course not, that would be the the thinking of a "conspiracy theorist".
