Re: FBI report, Active Shooter Incidents 2019

Reviewing the stats:

■4 out of 30 shooters wore body armor. (Hope everyone trains for head or pelvic shots)

■1 out of 30 shooters was killed by a civilian (Jack Wilson)

However:
Citizen Engagement and Casualties
In three incidents, unarmed citizens confronted the shooter, thereby ending the shooting.
■In one incident, a student restrained the shooter. The shooter was apprehended by campus police at the scene.17
■In one incident, a student was killed as he confronted the shooter. Two other students subdued and disarmed the shooter. The shooter and his co-shooter were arrested at different scenes on the school campus.18
■In one incident, a doctor was wounded as he wrestled the gun from the shooter; another doctor and a patient restrained the shooter until law enforcement arrived.19

...Citizens bravely and selflessly confronted the shooter in three incidents. Three citizens (two doctors and a patient) saved medical center colleagues and patients. Two students in two separate incidents lost their lives to save their classmates. One security officer saved fellow congregants.
So citizens stopped 4 out of 30 of these shootings. 5 ended in suicide.

Majority of shooters are males under 30 years old. It is concerning that 6 of these shootings occurred in Texas.
