CONWAY, S.C. (AP) -- Officials are looking for volunteers to help out with a drill to test South Carolina's response to a potential terrorist attack.

The five-day 2012 South Carolina Weapons of Mass Destruction Specialized Response Team exercise begins July 9.

Public safety agencies from around the state will be coming to Horry County to test out teams that would respond during an attack involving weapons of mass destruction.

Authorities need volunteers to play unarmed victims and students in various scenarios.
