Kiowa grew up loving churches and carrying The Bible around but Dobbins hated churches.

The vast majority of federal agencies define an active shooter event as a person purposefully killing or attempting to kill as many people as possible in a confined public area. Active shooter events do not include gang or drug related violence regardless of the number of individuals killed. All mass homicides, such as those committed with a weapon other than a firearm. Or even necessarily any event or crime committed with the use of a firearm, such as an accidental discharge of a firearm in a public building (Blair and Schweit, 2014).
