Yesterday’s tragic Navy Yard shooting in Washington D.C., in which a gunman killed at least 12 people, will serve to keep active-shooter drills at the forefront of first responder agencies for months to come. Active shooter response is one of the many topics planned for the ASIS Int’l Seminar and Exhibits next week in Chicago. There are three sessions scheduled, which together will expose attendees to topics such as trends in active shooting incidents, patterns and behavior of offenders, tools for preparing a response, and more.
