If an Active Shooter Suspect Walked into your Workplace Today:

- Did you know what the recommendations from law enforcement and security professionals are?
- Do you think that this cannot happen at your business?
These are all serious questions that you should be talking about at your place of business or on your campus. No part of our country is exempt from this act, as the cause is not something that is regional, urban, rural, based on race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, socio-economics, and so on. It can and does happen to all types of people in all types of places. Sometimes there are warning signs that it may happen, but often times it is a random act of violence.
Active Shooter news stories happen all too often. They used to be top news stories for most major networks but unless there are many victims, now it is often a buried story except for in local news. Why is that? In many cases, it is because it happens more than anyone would like to admit.
