MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WALA) - The state of Alabama is developing a plan for handling cases like the school shooting in Connecticut.

Gov. Robert Bentley says the state has been working for some time on a coordinated effort to handle emergencies. He asked Homeland Security on Monday to develop a plan for active shooters.
State Homeland Security Director Spencer Collier says it's impossible to say when such training might be needed for law enforcement, so the key is preparing ahead of time.
