But as terrible as 2012 was 2013 has been even more deadly. In the month of January alone, a mind-staggering eight school shootings took place.
In 2012, there were 10 school shootings that left a total of 41 people dead and 13 wounded

January 10, Taft, California: A gunman entered a science classroom of Taft Union High School with a 12-gauge shotgun and opened fire. A 16-year-old male student was shot in the chest and critically wounded while a teacher was also slightly injured. The classroom teacher, Ryan Heber, convinced him to drop his weapon, and the gunman was later arrested.

Communication• Cell phones• Be flexible – things are not always as reported
Scene Management – Remember - this is not our normal daily treatment protocol for taking care of Mrs. Smith
• Self – deployment• Don’t commit too early for triage and treatment• Protection for providers
Unified command• Agencies discuss expectations for response and
action ahead of time• Low frequency/high risk events – practice –
practice
Staging• Safest place to start resource deployment from;
good coordination has to begin immediately – don’t play catch up
• Always assume shooter is active until notified by LE

history
Workplace vs. School Workplace homicides outnumber school
homicides # of people murdered in the workplace
averages approx. 520 per year That means that approx. 2 people are
murdered per day in the workplace each week
School shootings are more deadly when they happen; but workplace violence is more common

Bridging the gap
We all have different areas of responsibility, but must work together to save lives.
Inter-agency cooperation is the only way to bridge the gap.
This is not the time or place for egos, EGOS GET PEOPLE KILLED.
We must ALL put aside our egos, our priority is saving lives, not saving face or taking credit.
School Resource Officers
Their presence in school systems serves as a deterrent to all crime, especially Active Shooter Events.
Provide immediate response capability.
Tactical Medical Units
The St. Joseph County Metro SWAT team is working to bridge this gap by implementing our own Tactical Medical Unit.
The Tactical Medical Unit puts Doctors on scene, directing our SWAT team member EMTs and Paramedics.
All members of the TMU are tactically trained so they can enter a hot zone if necessary.
The TMU members provide faster treatment time and increase victim survivability.
WHEN THE POLICE ARRIVE: Uniformed and plain clothes – multiple agencies Understand the POLICE point of view:
The situation will be chaotic, the initial information is often inaccurate and incomplete
They do not know who is a victim or suspectThey will treat everyone as a suspect until proven
otherwiseOfficers will be experiencing high stress, just like you
Primary Goal: Stop the Killing!!
Priority of workFind and confront the shooter
Will NOT stop to help the woundedWill NOT escort people out
Treatment & evacuation of the wounded (ONLY after the shooter/hostile intruder has been stopped!)
Clear people from the building
“Time is our worst adversary in dealing with active killers. We’re racing what I call ‘the Stopwatch of Death.’ Victims are often added to the toll every several seconds.”-Ron Borch, Southeast LE Training Academy
Response Time Concerns
In 5 Classrooms at Virginia Tech:170 rounds fired in nine minutes30 killed or 3.3 people killed per minute Including the 25 wounded, 6.1 people
were shot per minuteApproximately one person shot every
10 seconds
Hesitation Kills, Do Something!
History has shown that those that react the quickest in a life or death situation have the highest probability of survival
