![Page 3: Caught in the Crossfire: Every Second Counts during and after a Campus Shooting](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55cf9acc550346d033a36ff0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
14 Dec 1992, at Moonlit MA Campus
A phone call, interrupted.
“Something's going on . . . . “
“Get back in your room, lock the door, and get under the bed.”
6 people shot; 2 fatalities.

A Long NightHours to get that

Campus Upended
Dorms considered crime scenes, closed off = refugees everywhere.
Parents arriving, finals canceled.
State police gathering evidence.
Why did this happen?

Sequestered
A full year for the trial to start.
No news; could not witness trial.
Friends saved clippings in a box.

Year of the Living Dead
Conversational pitfalls.New students don't
know what's happened, no one will explain.
The Night the Music Died; invisible victims.
Civil suits and effects on the administration.

The Squirtgun IncidentFear comes in
technicolor plastic.
Community simmered: “Free Lev Bronstein!”
The Dean speaks.Students crumble,
the wounded stand tall.

Part II – How Do We Deal With This?
![Page 11: Caught in the Crossfire: Every Second Counts during and after a Campus Shooting](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55cf9acc550346d033a36ff0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Can We Stop It?
Resounding NO.
Mitigation is possible.
![Page 12: Caught in the Crossfire: Every Second Counts during and after a Campus Shooting](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55cf9acc550346d033a36ff0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Response Is Possible, But Must Be
In depth, instantaneous and highly adaptive.
Dependent on bystanders for critical moments.
Active shooter incident often leaves victims on own.
Communicate/coordinate to transition to professional response.

But I’m Not a Professional!Bad stuff happens; we
don't choose comrades.Coordination and
training happens before incident.
Local response must be automatic, reflexive.
Wide dispersion of trained volunteers bridge to professionals.

Self-Defense, a Combative Topic
Never enough police.Shooters like soft
targets; guns level playing field.
Evidence that defender need only disrupt attack.
They intend to break the law and not survive; control.
Out of the box: Children can defend. ALICE.

Moral/Spiritual Questions:Victims/Communities must choose
I have used first-aid kit more than gun.Defense important but priorities often
wrong.Firearm as right not separable from
duty; requires training, coordination, sense.
Our society founded on citizen response; how to make effective in modern US?
