Then, having dealt with a handful of these tense scenarios in just a few minutes, he handed the gun back to a sheriff's deputy and walked out of the police shooting simulator with a relieved smile.

Some participants saw value in the exercise as police around the country face increased scrutiny for shootings.
Burchett said she thinks it's worth every penny of the $3,000-plus she paid to rent the equipment, ABC News reports.
