Surviving an Active Shooting
It’s a hard and unsettling truth that mass shootings are a frequent occurrence across our country. The toll it is taking on the victims, victim’s families, colleagues and citizens across the nation is nothing less heart wrenching. We truly never know when a mass shooting event might occur which is why we must address and be prepared for such an event. The likelihood that you will have a shooting at your location is growing at a rapid rate. The statistics in the last 4 years are:
