The criminal justice department at Northeastern Junior College staged a mock crime scene Wednesday, involving a drug dealer who was shot and killed while driving a van and end up crashing into the clock tower next to ES French. The passenger of the van was able to get out, but shot dead. With this crime scene students are able to gain real-life experience in crime scene investigations. Students who are currently enrolled in the Crime Scene Investigation course are being tested on their basic understanding in the collection of trace evidence, ballistics, and blood spatter analysis. Students work in teams of five, each of them having specific part when investigating this crime scene. The van was on loan from a junk yard, and staged with fake blood and drugs. In order for students to determine the bullet's trajectory, live rounds were fired into the van prior to its arrival at NJC. (Courtesy Photo)
