There was an interesting article on PoliceOne referencing a speech by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. He makes the point that we have over lapping methods of mitigating risk relevant to fires in schools, fire alarms, extinguishers, fire drills, fire resistant materials, etc. The result being that there have been no school related fire deaths in 50 years. We do not train for an active shooter scenario and are in denial about it happening.
The other statement he makes that I agree with is that an unarmed person is not Security.
