-Active Shooter- - -An active shooter is a suspect whose activity is
immediately causing death and serious bodily injury. The activity is not
contained and there is immediate risk of death and serious injury to potential
victims.
-Armed Barricaded Suspect - -An armed barricaded suspect is a suspect
who is in a position of tactical advantage, usually barricaded in a room,
building or vehicle, who is armed with a weapon. The suspect may or may
not be holding hostages and there is no indication that the subject's activity
is immediately causing death or serious bodily injury.
-Traditional Deployment - -A tactical concept where law enforcement
officers maintain a secure perimeter around an armed suspect and wait for
specially trained units (SWAT, ERT, ESU) to arrive on scene and intervene.
-Rapid Deployment - -The swift and immediate deployment of law
enforcement personnel to on-going, life-threatening situations where delayed
deployment and engagement could otherwise result in death or great bodily
injury to innocent persons.
-Time Line of Violence - -The period of time from the suspect's first violent
action until the action is stopped or the suspect transitions to another
activity.
, -Incident Transition - -That point in the incident where the "active shooter"
stops his/her violent actions and tries to escape or barricades himself/herself.
-Active Shooter vs. Hostage/Barricaded Suspect(s) - -1. The term active
shooter is used to describe rapid aggressive response to armed individuals
who are actively shooting people at a school campus, workplace, or other
public gathering.
2. Active Shooter vs. Hostage/Barricade. A rapid deployment calls for the first
responding officer(s) on scene to form 1, 2, 3 or 4 man teams and
immediately locate and stop the threat; i.e., gunman(men). Officer response
to a hostage/barricade involves setting containment, perimeters, gathering
information and requesting appropriate resources (Locate, Isolate, and
Control).
3. It is critical to know the differences between the types of deployments and
accurately assess the circumstances and deploy appropriately. A response
may change from an initial rapid deployment to a hostage/barricade
deployment based upon the suspects' actions.
4. The #1 objective is to find, confront and stop the deadly behavior/threat
(Locate, Isolate, and Control)!
-Preparation for Active Shooters Situations: (Lessons Learned) - -(1) Active
shooter incidents are spontaneous.
(2) Suspect behavior is unpredictable.
(3) Pre-incident signs existed in school incidents.
(4) Incidents occur in a target rich environment.
(5) First responders were outgunned and did not have adequate training.
(6) A tactical intervention took too long.
(7) Multi-jurisdictional response issues were present.

I- inside - -1. Fantasy Stage:
Initially, the shooter only dreams of the shooting. He/She fantasizes about
the headlines and news coverage he/she will receive. The shooter pictures
breaking the death count record of the previous active shooter and going out
in a blaze of glory. He/She may draw pictures of the event, make Web
postings and even discuss these desires with friends and foes. If these
fantasies are passed on to law enforcement, police intervention can take
, place prior to the suspect's attack. In this case, there may even be zero
casualties.
2. Planning Stage:
The suspect is still a potential active shooter at this stage. He/She is
determining logistics - the who, what, when, where and how of the infamous
day. The suspect may put plans in writing and will often discuss these plans
with others. A time and location will be decided upon - one that will ensure
the greatest number of victims or, in some cases, target specific individuals.
The potential shooter will determine the weapons needed and how they will
be obtained. He/She will decide how to travel to the target location and how
to dress to conceal the weapons without arousing suspicion. If the police are
tipped off at this time, intervention may be made with zero casualties
-5 Stages of an Active Shooter Incident (cont.) - -3. Preparation Stage:
A law enforcement agency can still intervene during the preparation stage.
The suspect may be obtaining gunpowder or other chemicals for improvised
explosive devices. He/She might break into a house to steal weapons and
ammunition and/or hide them in a designated place closer to where he/she
plans to attack. The suspect may do a practice run or walkthrough of the
operation, gearing up for the assault. Potential shooters have been known to
call friends and tell them not to go to school or work on a certain day in order
to keep them out of the line-of-fire. If one of these people informs police of
his/her concerns, there is another opportunity for law enforcement to
intervene before the event. If this is the case, there is a real possibility that
there may be zero casualties.
4. Approach Stage:
The closer the time to the planned event, the more dangerous it will be for
an officer taking action. By the approach stage, the suspect has made plans
and has committed to carry out the act. At this point, he/she is actually
moving toward the intended target and will most likely be carrying the tools
that he/she will use for the massacre.
Officers may come into contact with the suspect at this stage because of a
citizen complaint, a traffic stop or something similar. A thorough
investigation can lead to an arrest of the suspect before he/she brings down
a multitude of innocent people in a shooting or bombing. No matter how
dangerous the stop, an alert and armed officer has a final chance to
intervene if he/she is prepared and aware during every street contact. This
contact could become a lifesaver and may end in zero casualties.
5. Implementation Stage:
Once the shooter opens fire, immediate action must be taken. Initial
responding officers need to immediately proceed to the suspect and stop the
threat. If he/she is not stopped, the active shooter will continue to kill until
he/she runs out of victims or ammunition. Remember, the active shooter is
