Maybe I missed something, but why is it a BAD idea?

Considering that is says the mall will be closed at the time, it's a good idea.
The reason Oregon's style was a bad idea was because staging it on unwitting 'victims' is likely to 1) bring about a lawsuit from the involved stress, in this litigious society and 2) get the 'shooter' shot if someone cares more about their safety than the rules. But if everyone involved knows about it and there aren't unknowning civilians there, it's proper training.

Because if someone tried to "train" me and my coworkers by running into our place of work pretending to be a crazed gunman, it would scare the crap outta us, and the "gunman" would be lucky to escape with his life.

The mall's closed, they're using roleplayers, and it was announced in advance.

No different to emergency services running disaster management drills

The tidbit about the mall being closed was not originally stated, merely the times were posted. Due to this development I agree that it will be a good training exercise for the officers and other rescue personnel.
