First 30 Seconds: The Active Shooter Problem - - book review

More time = more casualties

This is an excellent book that shows the importance of the armed, almost instantaneous, counterattack to an active shooter.

The author illustrates that the counterattack must occur within 30 seconds to keep the body count in the single digits.

Unfortunately, "officialdom" is uncomfortable with the idea of armed staff on campus and usually revert to outsourcing their security to an SRO or patrol officers who will arrive later after the body count has risen to teens or twenties or more.

Legislatures (with few exceptions) also are accessories before the fact by making it either very difficult, very expensive, or IMPOSSIBLE, for schools to have armed staff.
