1. Barbara McCormack Vice President Sales & Marketing September, 2016 Active Shooter Framing the Issues

2. Definition of an Active Shooter • An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area, and recent active shooter incidents have underscored the need for a coordinated response by law enforcement and others to save lives. • Active shooter is a term used by law enforcement to describe a situation in which a shooting is in progress and an aspect of the crime may affect the protocols used in responding to and reacting at the scene of the incident. • Unlike a defined crime, such as a murder or mass killing, the active aspect inherently implies that both law enforcement personnel and citizens have the potential to affect the outcome of the event based upon their responses.

Active Shooter – Notable Facts • The FBI Active Shooter Study Finding Regarding Commercial Employers • The most likely place for an active shooting incident to occur was an area of commercial business. • Most of the attacks took place on work days, particularly Tuesdays and Fridays, Saturdays were the least likely day for such incidents to occur. • 22 of the 23 shooters were employed or previously employed at the business where the incident occurred. • The sole shooter not employed by the business had a relationship with a current employee.

9. Active Shooter – 2014 – 2015 Notable Facts • Several high-profile incidents occurred last year alone -- from the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, which killed 14, to the assault at a community college in Roseburg, Oregon, where seven were killed. • Most of the 40 incidents in 2014 and 2015, however, didn’t receive such national attention. • For example, in February 2014, a 44-year-old woman allegedly opened fire at an eviction hearing in a tribal office in Alturas, California. Four people died, including three of the shooter’s relatives. The shooting only stopped after a citizen restrained her, according to the FBI. • In all, not including any of the shooters, 92 people were killed and another 139 wounded in active shooter incidents last year and the year before, according to the FBI. • “There has been a paradigm shift since the Paris attacks… attackers are getting more creative… they buy tickets, scout out location in advance, look for vulnerable softer targets”..(Ed McDonald, Director of Facilities and Operations for the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago)
