2012 Joint Intelligence Bulletin
The Federal Bureau of Investigation analyzed 154 active shooter events in the United States between 2002 and 2012 that included 3 or more individuals being shot
Some of the facts about the shooters:
Deceased after the event, 51%Committed suicide, 43%Shot and killed by responders, 8%Arrested, 45%
Unidentified, 4%Male, 96%Acted alone, 96%The most common identified motivations:Workplace retaliation, 21%Domestic disputes, 14%
Academic retaliation by a current or former student, 7%No clear motivation revealed, 40%13Slide14
2012 Joint Intelligence Bulletin
Active shooter events most commonly occurred in a workplace environment (37 percent) or academic setting (17 percent)
Many active shooters were described as social isolates, harbored feelings of hate and anger, and/or had some reported contact with mental health professionals
Mental illness is commonly referenced as a potential contributing factor, but its causal impact on the attack can only be speculatedVery few active shooters had previous arrests for violent crimes Common catalysts or triggers observed include: loss of significant relationships, changes in financial status, loss of a job, changes in living arrangements, major adverse changes to life circumstances, and/or feelings of humiliation or rejection on the part of the shooter14Slide15
Active Shooter Incident Characteristics
An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated
area
In most cases, there is no pattern or method to the selection of victimsMost active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly Preparedness and awareness are key
to helping protect our employees, our customers, and ourselves15Slide16
Potential Indicators
Thoughts
Talk of previous violent incidents
Unsolicited focus on dangerous weaponsExpressions of paranoia or depressionOverreaction to workplace changesFeelingsDepression or withdrawal
Unstable, emotional responsesFeeling either arrogant and supreme, or powerlessIntense anger or hostilityBehaviorsIncreased use of alcohol or drugsViolations of company policies
Increased absenteeismExploiting or blaming others16If others recognize and report these behaviors, the employee may be assisted, supported, and treated. It is important for employers to establish communication procedures for reporting these concerns. Depending on company policy, employees should alert the Human Resources Department or Safety/Security Department.Slide17
Protective Measures –
2014 Joint Intelligence Bulletin
Ensure you are familiar with current active shooter and other emergency response plans
Establish safe rooms within the confines of facilitiesEstablish communication protocols and means to instruct personnel on immediate personal protective actions (e.g. evacuation, shelter-in-place)During times of heightened threat, maintain awareness of travel patters and, if possible, vary times and routes to avoid predictabilityExercise caution when discussing travel or personal matters on social media, unsecured networks, and in public settingsRaise awareness among employees by conducting “all hazards” trainingEnsure that emergency communications equipment is present and operable
17Slide18
Protective Measures –
2014
Joint Intelligence Bulletin
Report missing or stolen equipment, including weapons, to proper authoritiesBe familiar with the “See Something, Say Something” campaign and appropriately report all odd or suspicious activity to agency security officers, Federal Protective Service, or local law enforcementIncrease visibility of armed security and law enforcement personnel in areas adjacent to and in front of security checkpoints to deter unwanted activity
18Slide19
Long-Term Protective
Measures –
2014
Joint Intelligence BulletinLong-term protective measures should emphasize physical safeguards that present a robust deterrent and provide a more survivable environment. Officials should consider the following measures:Install secure locks on all external and internal doors and windows with quick-release capability from within for emergency escapeInstall window and external door protection with quick-release capability for fire escape
Establish safe areas within the facility for assembly and refuge during crisesEstablish and implement an emergency communications system such as phone trees or text messages for personnel19Slide20
Response to an Active Shooter Situation
In an active shooter situation,
you should quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life. You should:
Run: If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premisesHide: If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find youFight: As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter
It is important to train employees they can react if they are confronted with an active shooter situation These situations evolve quickly, therefore, quick decisions could mean the difference between life and deathIf you are in harm’s way, you will need to quickly decide on the safest course of action based on the scenario unfolding before you
20Slide21
Run
If you suspect an active shooter situation, you must quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life; if there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises
Always have an escape route/plan in mind
Leave your belongings behindBe sure to:Warn others not to enter an area where the active shooter may beHelp others escape, if possibleEvacuate regardless of whether others agree to followDo not attempt to move wounded people
Keep your hands visibleFollow the instructions of any police officers21Slide22
Hide
If safe evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you. Your hiding place should:
Be out of the shooter’s view
Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e., an office with a closed and locked door)Not trap or restrict your options for movementTo prevent a shooter from entering your hiding place:Lock the doorBlockade the door with heavy furniture
Close, cover, and move away from the door22Slide23
Fight
As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, should you attempt to incapacitate the shooter by acting with physical aggression
Act as aggressively as possible against him/her
Throw items and improvise weaponsYellCommit to your actions23Slide24
