A large knife covered in blood, a blood-stained shirt, and shell casings were found by investigators in the victims’ home. The casings typically come from an AK-47 rifle.

“GET DOWN!.... SHHH!!!!.... GET DOWN! GET INTO A ROOM AND LOCK IT!!!!” This is the first thing our opposite crew heard as they walked into the ER with a patient last month. Should this crew have recognized the signs of an active shooter? Is walking into a hospital with an active shooter even a real concern? From 2000-2012, there were 154 hospital related shootings in the United States with 235 injuries or deaths. That’s more than 1 shooting a month. As QIC I will implement parts of the “Active Shooter Preparedness” from United States Homeland Security. Knowing exactly what Emergency Action Plans our hospitals have in place will help us know how to recognize and react to possible active shooter situations. Scene safety is constant with EMS.

The Virginia Tech shooting was one of the biggest shooting. Seung-Hui Cho was the mass murderer of the Virginia Tech shooting. Cho killed 33 people and injured 18 more. I am going to explain a little of who Cho is and some information about the Virginia Tech shooting. I will also explain the motives behind the why he did the shooting and how officers responded to the crime. Finally, I will explain how Virginia Tech and campuses across the nations have changed there active shooter situations.

Police’s lack of evidence made the investigation harder and the hints received did not contributed in accelerating the process. The only evidence at first was a “death card”. Also, people started to give misleading statements that they saw the murderer escaped in a white van. A guy was arrested for giving false information to the police by saying that he saw the sniper escaped in a white van with one tail light broken. Going back to the phone call, the sniper mentioned an unsolvable murder committed in Alabama. It was a liquor store robbery and it was the place where investigators found the first major evidence to show the murderer’s identity; a fingerprint of Lee Boyd Malvo, which later led to his guardian, John Allen

An Active Shooter situation is not the same as mass killings, mass fatalities, or even serial murder. Nor is it the same as gang killings or a disgruntled family member killing other family members. It is defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as:

New details have emerged from the European train shooting that was halted by a 65th Air Base Airman that was on personal leave and traveling with two friends. The airman did not hesitate taking action to stop an attacking gunman aboard a high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris on Friday.

On Sunday, December 4th at around 9:30 pm, a corrections officer was shot in her vehicle in New York City. Alastasia Bryan, 25 was sitting behind the wheel of her gray sedan when a man walked up to her vehicle and shot her to death through the window (NBCNewYork). The suspect has yet to be identified, but surveillance videos show a man exiting his vehicle, walking up to Bryan’s vehicle and shooting her to death. After the shooting, the unknown shooter walked back to his vehicle and drove off (NBCNewYork). Whether or not Bryan was intentionally targeted or not is still unknown. Sunday night investigators were seen examining the scene where they found numerous bullet holes in the driver side window of the gray sedan (NBCNewYork).

Maria was obviously murdered. She was lying facedown with a bullet wound present at the left lower-part of her skull.. A quick look revealed the following clues: a .32 caliber bullet lodged in the ground in front of her nose, and a bullet casing lying to the left of her feet.. “Hmm,” he thought, “fired from close range due to the powder burns.” He checked the bullet casing for fingerprints, but didn’t find

Through extensive research and close observation many people have worked to prove that Oswald did not murder JFK, and that the murder was a cover up. Government officials concluded that JFK was killed by a single shot. However, there were seven wounds found on JFK and Governor Connally (Southwell). To challenge the government’s conclusion Former Navy Lieutenant Josiah Thompson watched the film of JFK being shot very closely. Thompson concluded that there were shots coming from different directions (Hall).

There have been way too much active shooting incidents over the past couple of years in the United States. Most recently the Florida school shooting and the Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017. I know first hand the panic and fear of being in an environment when gun shots are heard. Last year my husband and I was at our local mall doing some last-minute vacation shopping, when a loud noise was heard, and we saw people running everywhere, screaming shots fired. I have never been in a situation like that before and it was very scary. It was not an active shooting, and the news reported it was criminal in nature, a teen was arrested for firing the gun shot in the mall. Nurses more than ever need to have sharp clinical skills if called into play during an active shooting. Just last year a doctor opened fired at Bronx Lebanon Hospital, killing 1 victim and wounding 6. This is a hospital that I did nursing clinical at and was very shocked to hear of this active shooting incident.

Currently, in the United States of America there is a debate. A debate that has some citizens arguing for their Constitutional Right to bear arms and others arguing for what is seen as a violent epidemic. Gun violence is nothing new in America, but with the recent mass shooting it has citizens more fearful than before. Some fearing that the government will overreach its power and others that modern weapons will continue to cause a rise in gun violence. This has all led to a proposal by some legislators to disarm the American citizen. Disarming the American citizen will not end gun violence and may only ensure the disarming of law abiding citizens, in

If this is true, there must have been a second gunman because Oswald was reported to fire only three shots, and there was not enough time for him to fire the first shot that hit Kennedy and the one that hit Connally. Also, witnesses reported hearing more than three gunshots, some of which sounded like they came from the grassy knoll where a man was photographed standing behind a

Other witnesses stated that this was not just over drugs, but a disagreement also. The bullet holes in the van and the house reveal that a large caliber hand gun was used. It appears based on eye witness accounts that only one gun was actually fired and used, however more than two guns were
