City of Hamilton workers didn't find out about a shooting at their office complex from security — they found out through group chats.
@ericwickham.ca and I investigated why the city's emergency alert system was delayed for @pressprogress.ca
After a shooting at their office building, Hamilton city workers waited nearly an hour to get an emergency alert.
In the aftermath, the city said the system worked "as intended."
(They've since acknowledged room for improvement.)
