How to respond when an active shooter is in your vicinity
Paris. Sandy Hook. San Bernardino.
As recent incidents have shown, active shooters can target anyone, anywhere.
An active shooter is defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a person who is actively engaged in killing or trying to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, there is no pattern or method to his or her selection of victims.
Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Typically, law enforcement is required to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to victims.
By the numbers
- 160: active shooter incidents took place in the United States between 2000 and 2013
- 486 people were killed in the attacks
- 557 people were injured
- 21 incidents ended after unarmed citizens restrained the shooter
- 60% of the incidents ended before police arrived
- 64% ended with the shooter committing suicide.
- 46% of the incidents took place in an area of commerce.
- 24% took place in educational institutions, and 10 percent took place in government properties.
Because such scenarios typically span only 10 to 15 minutes — before law enforcement has time to arrive — people must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation on their own. Are you prepared?
