ANALYSIS: The active shooter threat, and how law enforcement is responding.
In San Diego, a 19-year-old man allegedly breached the sanctum of the Chabad of Poway on Passover and, authorities say, opened fire.
In 2018, the FBI classified 27 incidents in 16 states as “active shooter” incidents. In those incidents there were 213 casualties, excluding the shooters, with 85 killed and 128 wounded. Active shooting incidents, which law enforcement experts say generally begin and end within five minutes, have shown some similarities, especially in schools. The Secret Service conducted a study called the Safe School Initiative and came away with 10 key findings of what it terms acts of “targeted violence,” most of which are transferable to any active shooter.2. Prior to most incidents, other people knew about the attacker’s idea and/or plan to attack4.
Since every gunshot heard during an active shooter incident can mean a potential fatality, their mission is to: first, stop the threat; second, confirm there are no other threats; and third, determine the motive as soon as possible to try and prevent another attack.
