S6E19 IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES |Part Two WATCHING TWO DETECTIVES

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 05:01:00 GMT

Following the recent crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, we’re sharing the opening episode of Watching Two Detectives’ award-winning first season.

If Tomorrow Never Comes tells the story of the random murder of 45-year-old Michael Furlong in Smithfield, New South Wales, on June 3, 2002.

Unlike Stop the Killing’s interview-led format, Watching Two Detectives builds an entire season around one case, allowing the detectives who investigated it and the family who lived through it to tell the story in their own words.

In this first episode, retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan are joined by retired Detective Inspector Clive Ainley, who led the original murder investigation.

Michael’s former wife and best friend, Colleen, and his son, Luke, introduce us to the man behind the case: a happy, endlessly sociable father, passionate Beatles fan, practical joker and natural inventor.

On the final day of his life, Michael visited an electronics store looking for parts for a device he hoped could prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel.

He was there because he wanted to save lives.

Instead, a completely ordinary afternoon became the beginning of one of the most callous and unusual murder investigations the detectives had encountered.

Michael and his brother were approached by a stranger who claimed to have damaged their car. Within moments, Michael had been fatally attacked and his brother was running for his life.

The detectives arrived to find a devastating crime scene, an eyewitness in shock and almost no obvious connection between Michael and the unknown attacker.

Somewhere beyond the police tape, a killer had disappeared into Sydney.

This episode explores the first hours of the investigation, the crushing task of telling Michael’s young sons that their father had been murdered and the last gift Michael gave Colleen: a CD containing the song If Tomorrow Never Comes.

This is the opening chapter of a five-part true-crime investigation told through the detectives who worked the case and the family who have carried its consequences ever since.

The remaining episodes of If Tomorrow Never Comes are waiting for you there, along with five complete seasons of victim-focused true crime, real police investigations and stories told by the people who lived them.

This episode contains descriptions of murder, violence and traumatic bereavement. Listener discretion is advised.

S6E17 Bondi Beach Mass Shooting: AI Misinformation, Survival & Why the Mission Continues | Part 5

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 04:22:00 GMT

In the fifth and final episode of this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan one last time.

The conversation begins with the information we still do not know about the Bondi Beach mass shooting — and why pending court proceedings, privacy laws and suppression orders can limit what is released to the public.

Katherine, Scott and Peter examine the growing pressure for instant answers after major crimes, the spread of conspiracy theories and the new challenge facing investigators: artificial intelligence making it increasingly difficult to know whether video, images and evidence shared online are real.

They also reflect on the extraordinary courage shown during the attack. Bondi lifesavers ran towards danger with first-aid kits while shots were still being fired. Ordinary people protected strangers, carried the injured and made decisions in seconds that may have saved lives.

But what about those who freeze?

Katherine explains why fight, flight and freeze are all normal human responses — and why nobody can truly know how they will react until they are placed in that situation. Her advice is clear: your first responsibility is to survive and return home to the people who love you.

The episode then turns to the personal mission behind both podcasts.

Katherine reflects on leaving the FBI but never leaving the work behind, and on how Stop the Killing restored some of her faith in humanity by creating a community of listeners who want answers, solutions and practical ways to make their communities safer.

Scott and Peter explore the emotional toll of law enforcement, the coping mechanisms officers develop and why bringing humanity back into these conversations matters.

This final episode also considers how victims should be spoken about. Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a life permanently changed.

This is the final chapter of the five-part Stop the Killing x Watching Two Detectives crossover — a series about the Bondi Beach mass shooting, police response, misinformation, courage, survival and prevention.

Because this is more than true crime.

It is a mission.

Over the next few weeks, both podcast feeds will continue the crossover. Watching Two Detectives will feature selected episodes from the more than 200 episodes of Stop the Killing, while Stop the Killing will share the first two episodes of the award-winning first season of Watching Two Detectives.

Follow both podcasts to hear more powerful, victim-focused stories and expert conversations designed to inform, challenge and help keep people safer.

S6E16 Bondi Beach Terror Attack: Police Response, Active Shooter Tactics & the Hero Detective | Part 4

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 05:31:00 GMT

In Part Four of this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program Katherine Schweit continues her conversation with retired New South Wales detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan.

Together, they examine the police response to the Bondi Beach terror attack, the speed at which a mass shooting can unfold, and the impossible decisions officers must make in the first few minutes of an active-shooter incident.

The conversation explores the difference between directed terrorism, inspired terrorism and independently motivated attackers, as well as the danger of extremist propaganda and livestreamed violence inspiring future attacks.

Scott and Peter also address the misinformation that spread online in the immediate aftermath of Bondi. Images of wounded officers taking cover were used to accuse them of cowardice, while a photograph of a female officer directing civilians away from danger was falsely framed as surrender.

Katherine explains why social-media snapshots cannot show what an officer was seeing, what intelligence they had or what tactical decisions they were being forced to make.

The episode then turns to the extraordinary actions of Detective Senior Constable Cesar Barraza, the plain-clothes detective who confronted attackers armed with long guns from approximately 40 to 45 metres away.

Katherine, Scott and Peter break down the difficulty of making accurate handgun shots over that distance, under extreme pressure, with civilians and fellow officers still in danger.

This is not Hollywood. Real officers have limited ammunition. Real decisions are made in seconds. And real lives were saved.

This episode is Part Four of a five-part Stop the Killing x Watching Two Detectives crossover examining the Bondi Beach mass shooting, the police response, the human cost and the lessons that may help prevent future violence.

This is not about politics.

It is about facts, response and prevention.

S6E15 Bondi Beach Mass Shooting: The Heroes, Horror & Six-Minute Attack | STK x Watching Two Detectives Part 3

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 04:35:00 GMT

In Part Three of this special Stop the Killing x Watching Two Detectives crossover, Katherine Schweit is joined by retired NSW detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan to examine the Bondi Beach mass shooting.

This episode looks at the six-minute attack, the police response, the tactical realities of the scene, and the extraordinary bravery of civilians who intervened while others were still under fire.

This is not a political discussion about the Israel-Palestine conflict. It is a factual look at one specific mass shooting incident, the motives and climate around it, and the lessons that may help prevent future attacks.

S6E14 Sandy Hook to Bondi: Guns, Suicide and the Women Who Talk to the Dead — Part Two

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 05:52:00 GMT

What happens when three experienced investigators from opposite sides of the world sit down to examine how police respond to an active shooter?

In this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan for an expert examination of the lessons that have reshaped mass-shooting prevention, preparation and police response.

Katherine was working on national security and counterterrorism cases when the murder of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School changed the direction of her career. Following the shooting, she was appointed to the White House team tasked with developing a coordinated national response to mass shootings and became the architect of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program.

In Part One, Katherine explains how the devastating events at Sandy Hook helped accelerate a fundamental change in policing: moving away from the traditional strategy of “contain, negotiate and wait” towards the immediate deployment of officers to confront and stop an active threat.

Peter and Scott reveal how those lessons travelled across the world and influenced Australian policing. They discuss the introduction of New South Wales Police’s Active Armed Offender training, the impact of the 2014 Lindt Café siege and the confronting reality of preparing ordinary frontline officers to run towards attackers armed with military-style weapons.

Together, they explore:

Why active-shooter incidents can be over within minutes
The extraordinary risks faced by the first officers entering the scene
Why an active shooter and a mass shooting are not always the same thing
Why workplaces—not schools—account for many active-shooter attacks in the United States
The challenges of negotiating with attackers driven by extremist or ideological motives
Why warning signs must be recognised and reported before violence begins
How information shared by one student helped prevent a planned school shooting
Why measuring the attacks that never happened is so important

Katherine also shares the remarkable story of the message that reminded her why Stop the Killing must continue: a school vice principal who credited the podcast with helping her team recognise the warning signs and prevent a planned attack.

This conversation lays the groundwork for the next part of the series, when Katherine, Peter and Scott turn their attention to the December 14, 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack, examining the actions of the attackers, civilians and responding officers through their combined FBI and Australian policing experience. The attack targeted a Hanukkah celebration and killed 15 people.

This is not simply a conversation about what happened. It is a conversation about what has been learned, what has changed—and what still needs to change to stop the next attack.

Stop the Killing Patreon:GUNS, SUICIDE AND THE WOMEN WHO TALK TO THE DEAD — PART TWO

In Part Two of this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit continues her conversation with retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan.

Before the team turns its attention to the Bondi Beach killings, they take a deeper look at the realities that sit behind conversations about firearms, mass violence and public safety.

Katherine explains why she wrote Stop the Killing: A Simple Guide to the Second Amendment and why productive conversations about guns in the United States have become so difficult. With hundreds of millions of firearms already in circulation, she argues that prevention has to begin with the laws, risks and realities that currently exist—not the world people wish existed.

The conversation also examines one of the most overlooked parts of America’s firearms crisis: suicide. Katherine explains that the majority of firearm deaths in the United States are self-inflicted, raising difficult questions about access to weapons during moments of crisis and how firearms can turn a temporary period of distress into an irreversible outcome.

Peter, Scott and Katherine discuss:

Why active-shooter attacks and other forms of mass violence are not directly comparable
How the weapon used can dramatically change the number of casualties
The difference between bolt-action, semi-automatic and automatic firearms
Why Australia’s firearms restrictions mattered during the Bondi Beach attack
How the elevated firing position at Bondi could have produced an even greater loss of life if different weapons had been available
What the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting demonstrates about firing speed, distance and crowd density
Why statistics must be properly explained rather than used to support a predetermined argument

The conversation then moves from mass-shooting prevention to another extraordinary investigation from Katherine’s career.

Katherine introduces her book Women Who Talk to the Dead, which follows Detroit detective Shannon Jones and FBI forensic specialist Leslie Larsen as they uncover a connection between missing-person investigations and unidentified murder victims buried in paupers’ graves.

What begins with one detective searching through decades-old paper files develops into the largest exhumation of murder victims ever undertaken by the FBI.

Katherine reveals how a team of female detectives, prosecutors, forensic anthropologists and investigators volunteered their expertise and time to recover remains, obtain DNA and finally return names to people who had been unidentified for decades.

Peter also reflects on his own experience working alongside a forensic anthropologist during the painstaking exhumation of a murder victim—and why a line in a news report stating that investigators “exhumed the body and obtained DNA” can never capture the time, care and expertise that work truly requires.

This episode is about the human realities hidden behind the statistics: the people lost to firearms, the investigators who carry the responsibility of finding answers and the extraordinary work required to give unidentified victims their names back.

And after two episodes of expert discussion, the stage is now set.

In Part Three, Katherine Schweit, Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan turn their combined FBI and New South Wales policing experience towards the Bondi Beach killings and examine the events of that tragic day.

S6B8 When a Six-Year-Old Shoots: The Richneck Case and the Question of Accountability

Mon, 25 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

In this Stop the Killing update, Katherine Schweit revisits the Richneck Elementary School shooting in Newport News, Virginia — the case where a six-year-old student shot his teacher, Abigail Zwerner, in January 2023.

This episode focuses on the latest legal development: the dismissal of criminal charges against former assistant principal Ebony Parker, who had been accused of felony child abuse and endangerment after warnings were allegedly raised before the shooting.

Katherine explains what happened in court, why the judge dismissed the charges, and why this case continues to raise difficult questions about school shooting prevention, gun safety, child access to firearms, school accountability, and legal responsibility.

When a six-year-old cannot be held criminally responsible, who can be? The parent? The school? The administrator? The system?

For more detail on the original incident, listen to our earlier episode:Richneck Elementary School – Stop the Killinghttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/richneck-elementary-school/id1585146489?i=1000610558667

S6E12 From Survival to Action: Whitney Austin on Recovery & Preventing Gun Violence — Part 2

Thu, 21 May 2026 05:20:00 GMT

In Part Two of this powerful conversation, Katherine Schweit continues her discussion with Whitney Austin — survivor of the 2018 Cincinnati mass shooting and founder of Whitney Strong.

In Part One, Whitney shared the moment she was shot 12 times in less than a minute while walking into her workplace.

In this episode, we pick up where that story left off.

Whitney takes us through the long road to recovery — multiple surgeries, months of physical and mental rehabilitation, and the determination it took to rebuild her life.

But survival was only the beginning.

Whitney shares how that experience became the catalyst for action — leading her to create Whitney Strong, an organisation focused on finding common ground to reduce gun violence through practical, data-driven solutions.

This episode explores:

The physical and mental recovery after surviving a mass shooting
Turning trauma into purpose
The creation and mission of Whitney Strong
Community-based solutions to prevent gun violence
The reality of pushing for change — and why persistence matters

From hands-on safety training to advocating for targeted legislation, Whitney explains how small, practical actions can come together to save lives.

This is a conversation about what comes after survival — and how one person can turn tragedy into impact.

S6E11 Surviving a Mass Shooting: Whitney Austin’s Story of Strength — Part 1

Thu, 14 May 2026 05:44:00 GMT

In this powerful first part of a two-part conversation, Katherine Schweit speaks with Whitney Austin, survivor of the 2018 Cincinnati mass shooting and founder of Whitney Strong.

Whitney shares the ordinary morning that became life-changing: driving from Kentucky to Cincinnati for work, walking into her office building while on a conference call, and suddenly finding herself caught in an active shooter situation.

Shot 12 times, Whitney recalls the terrifying moments inside the revolving door, the clarity that helped her survive, the first responders who reached her, and the phone call to her husband that no family should ever receive.

This episode explores survival, situational awareness, trauma, and the ripple effects of violence — not only on those physically injured, but on families, workplaces, first responders, and entire communities.

In Part Two, Katherine and Whitney discuss recovery, Whitney Strong, and how Whitney turned unimaginable trauma into action.

Learn more about Whitney’s work:Whitney Strong

In this episode:

Whitney Austin’s experience during the 2018 Cincinnati shooting
Why situational awareness matters
The role of first responders in active shooter events
The impact of gun violence beyond the immediate victims
What it means to survive — and begin again

S6E10 Why ‘Being on the Radar’ Doesn’t Stop a Shooter (Part 2) | Katherine Schweit

Thu, 07 May 2026 05:26:00 GMT

In Part 2 of this conversation, former FBI agent Katherine Schweit continues her deep dive with experts from Integras Intelligence — unpacking one of the most misunderstood and frustrating questions in the aftermath of targeted violence.

Joining Katherine are:

Michael Ginch, Manager, Investigations
Forhad Razzaque, President

Why many perpetrators have no obvious warning signs — and why that’s increasing
The uncomfortable truth: people close to offenders are often shocked by what happens
Why “being on the radar” can mean almost anything — from minor past incidents to vague concerns
The legal reality: why law enforcement can’t act without threshold evidence
How free speech and civil liberties limit intervention — even when something feels wrong
Why monitoring the internet is not as simple as it sounds (and why it’s impossible to catch everything)
The problem of false positives — and why context matters more than keywords

One of the most striking takeaways from this episode:

👉 Many organisations don’t even have a basic system for reporting concerns.

Which means:

Warning signs may never reach decision-makers
Employees don’t know who to tell
And even when they do… there’s no clear process for action

As the Integras team explains, prevention isn’t about catching everything —it’s about what you do when something is flagged.

You can’t prevent every act of violence.

But you can build systems that make it harder to miss the signals that matter.

Because when something goes wrong, the real question isn’t just:

“Were they on the radar?”

It’s:

“What did we do when they were?”

In Part 1, Katherine breaks down:

What background checks actually reveal
Why investigations are limited by law
And how risk is assessed before an incident

S6E9 He Was on the Radar’ — What That Actually Means (Part 1) | Katherine Schweit

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 05:37:00 GMT

In the aftermath of a shooting, we hear the same haunting phrase:

“He was on the radar.”

But what does that actually mean?

In this episode of Stop the Killing, former FBI agent Katherine Schweit sits down with experts from Integras Intelligence to unpack the reality behind background checks, threat assessment, and the limits of what can — and can’t — be known before tragedy strikes.

Joining Katherine are:

Michael Ginch, Manager, Investigations
Forhad Razzaque, President

Together, they take you inside the world most people never see — the one behind the headlines.

What a background check actually is — and why it’s not just a simple report
The difference between public perception and real investigative capability
Why not all information can legally be collected, shared, or acted upon
The concept of “permissible purpose” — and how it limits investigations
Why companies often run only basic checks (and what gets missed as a result)
The tension between speed, cost, and depth when hiring or assessing risk
How investigators assess potential threats using context — not just data

As Katherine and her guests explain, background checks are not a crystal ball — they’re a snapshot in time, shaped by legal boundaries, resources, and human judgement.

Just because someone was “on the radar”…doesn’t mean there was enough evidence — or legal authority — to act.

And that’s where the real complexity begins.

In Part 2, Katherine digs deeper into the question everyone asks after an attack:

👉 If they were on the radar… why weren’t they stopped?

You’ll hear:

The legal thresholds that prevent intervention
Why law enforcement can’t act on instinct alone
The myth that “everything online is being monitored”
And what responsibility falls on organisations — and individuals — to report concerns

Part 2 is available now for subscribers on Apple Podcasts and Patreon.

EPISODE DROP: The Badmiral (CONmunity – Season 2, Episode 1) “Hoisting the Sails of Suspicion”

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 05:11:00 GMT

EPISODE DROP: The Badmiral (CONmunity – Season 2, Episode 1)“Hoisting the Sails of Suspicion”

This week on Stop the Killing, we’re briefly switching gears to bring you something a little different… and trust me, it’s worth it.

It started, as these things often do, with a message.

A listener reaches out with a story about a man calling himself an Admiral — a leader of a global disaster response organisation promising million-dollar budgets, elite teams, and international backing.

But as I start pulling on that thread… the story begins to unravel.

What follows is a world of:

Fake titles and real military figures
Promises of $250,000 salaries that never materialise
A mysterious organisation called IntSAR
And one question that refuses to go away…

Is this the beginning of something legitimate — or the early signs of a global con?

This is Episode One of The Badmiral — where we set sail into a story that quickly becomes stranger than fiction.

S6E7 Three Attacks. One Pattern. What Every One of These Killers Had in Common

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:09:00 GMT

Thanks to Imron Corporation for hosting this live episode of Stop the Killing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, recorded in January 2025.

What do a vehicle attack in New Orleans…a car explosion in Las Vegas…and a targeted assassination in New York…

all have in common?

More than you think.

In this special live episode — recorded on the field at SoFi Stadium in January 2025 — Sarah and Katherine break down three recent, high-profile cases and reveal the patterns that link them.

Because while the headlines call them different things — terrorism, explosion, assassination — the reality is much simpler, and much more important:

They are all acts of targeted violence.

And if we understand the patterns, we have a chance to stop them.

A vehicle used as a weapon.14 people killed. Dozens injured.

How the attacker carried out reconnaissance beforehand
Why temporary security gaps (like removed bollards) mattered
The warning signs that were there before the attack
How planning and opportunity collided in real time

A shocking incident outside a Trump hotel just hours later.

Why this was not what it first appeared to be
The role of mental health and personal crisis
How quickly speculation can spiral into misinformation
The difference between targeted violence and self-directed harm

A calculated, premeditated killing in broad daylight.

10 days of surveillance before the attack
The escape plan — and where it unraveled
How digital footprints helped track the suspect
The disturbing rise of online glorification after violent acts

These incidents may look different — but the behaviour patterns are the same
Targeted violence is almost always planned, not spontaneous
The warning signs are there — but often missed or dismissed
Prevention starts with recognising changes in behaviour
The public plays a critical role, often without realising it

Across all three cases, one theme stands out:

Behavioural change.

Sudden isolation
Dropping off the radar
Changes in routine, work, or communication
Fixation on a person, place, or grievance

These are the signals that matter — whether someone is heading toward harming others or themselves.

Most active attacks are over in minutes
The opportunity to stop them is before they begin
Prevention is always a shared responsibility

This is not about fear.It is about awareness.

This episode was recorded live in January 2025 during the Imron Safety and Security Conference in Los Angeles, surrounded by experts, practitioners, and innovators working on real-world solutions.

We had a brilliant experience with the team at Imron Corporation — from the staff to the exhibitors, the conversations, and the technology on show.

If you are serious about understanding where safety and security is heading, these summits are genuinely worth your time. They bring together industry leaders, law enforcement, and cutting-edge technology in a way that sparks real collaboration.

Different headlines.Same patterns.

And the more we understand them, the better chance we have of stopping the next one.

S6E4 School Shootings Start Long Before the Gun — Here’s How to Stop Them

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

What if preventing school shootings has far less to do with reacting… and everything to do with what happens long before?

In this powerful episode of Stop the Killing, Katherine Schweit is joined by leading researchers from the University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention and the National Center for School Safety to unpack what the data actually tells us about stopping violence before it starts.

This isn’t about headlines.This is about evidence, prevention, and what really works.

Dr. Brianna Scott — Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Michigan

Dr. Elyse Thulin — Research Assistant Professor, University of Michigan

Dr. Sarah M. Stilwell — Researcher in Educational Psychology, University of Michigan

Why school shootings are the end of a long chain of missed warning signs
The role of anonymous reporting systems in preventing harm
How school culture, belonging, and connection reduce violence risk
The three critical environments: physical, social, and attentive
Why most youth access to firearms comes from familiar homes
And how early intervention can stop escalation before it becomes tragedy

School shootings don’t begin with a weapon.They begin with missed opportunities to intervene earlier.

Here are the resources mentioned in this episode — all worth exploring:

⚠️ How many lives can Red Flag Laws actually save?

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:31:00 GMT

⚠️ How many lives can Red Flag Laws actually save?

A six-state study looked at how Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) are used to prevent violence and suicide.

The finding was striking.

For roughly every 13–18 ERPOs issued… one life was saved.

Most often by preventing firearm suicide during a crisis moment.

It’s still early research, but the evidence is increasingly clear:
temporarily removing access to a gun during a crisis can reduce deaths.

🎙 We break down the research and how these laws work in the latest episode of Stop the Killing.

Red Flag Laws Explained: Can ERPOs Stop School Shootings?

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 05:53:00 GMT

⚠️ Could a simple legal tool stop violence before it happens?

Research into Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) — often called Red Flag Laws — is showing promising results.

In states like Connecticut and Indiana, firearm suicides dropped 14% and 7.5% after these laws were introduced.

Another multi-state study found that for roughly every 13–18 ERPOs issued, one life was saved.

It’s early research — but the evidence is growing that temporarily removing access to firearms during a crisis can reduce deaths.

S6E3 Red Flag Laws Explained: Can ERPOs Stop School Shootings?

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 04:48:00 GMT

What if there was a legal tool designed to stop a mass shooting before it happens?

In this episode of Stop the Killing, former FBI executive Katherine Schweit sits down with leading researchers studying gun violence prevention to explain Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) — often referred to as Red Flag Laws.

These laws allow courts to temporarily restrict firearm access for people who are considered a risk to themselves or others. But how do they actually work? And can they help prevent tragedies like school shootings?

Our guests from the University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention and the National Center for School Safety break down the research, the misconceptions, and the real-world impact of these laws.

The conversation also explores why school safety goes far beyond metal detectors and lockdown drills, and why evidence shows that prevention must involve families, schools, communities, and early intervention strategies.

If you’ve ever wondered whether mass shootings can actually be prevented — and what role communities can play — this episode provides crucial insight.

S6E2 The Real Cost of Gun Violence: Lawsuits, Liability & the Price of Freedom

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 05:46:00 GMT

When we talk about gun violence, we count the dead.We count the injured.We debate the laws.

But what about the financial cost?

In this episode, former FBI executive Katherine Schweit examines the hidden economic impact of gun violence in America — from multi-million-dollar settlements to bankrupt gun manufacturers.

Using real cases including:

The 2022 Buffalo Tops Supermarket shooting
The $73 million Sandy Hook settlement
The $10 million award to a teacher shot by a 6-year-old student
Lawsuits involving ghost guns, straw purchases, and firearm accessories

Katherine breaks down:

✔ What the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) actually protects✔ Why a gun accessory manufacturer paid $1.75 million✔ How liability law is evolving✔ Whether firearm companies should be shielded from responsibility✔ And what shifting financial risk could mean for the future of gun policy

This isn’t a debate about the Second Amendment.It’s a conversation about accountability, insurance, and the true cost of doing business in a country flooded with firearms.

Because beyond grief and trauma — there is an economic impact.

And someone always pays.

Gun violence financial impact
Firearm manufacturer liability
PLCAA explained
Sandy Hook lawsuit settlement
Buffalo supermarket shooting 2022
Ghost guns and legal accountability
Straw purchases and gun dealer liability
School shooting lawsuits
Insurance requirements for gun owners
Economic cost of gun violence in America

S6B2 🚨 Why the FBI Raises Terror Threats During Religious Holidays

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 00:18:00 GMT

As major religious holidays approach — Ramadan, Eid, Passover, and Easter — security agencies often raise threat assessments.

Former FBI executive Katherine Schweit explains why periods of global conflict and major faith gatherings can increase security risks, and what simple awareness steps families can take to stay safe.

This quick Stop the Killing bonus episode looks at how threat assessments work — and why being alert, not afraid, is one of the most important tools for public safety.

S6B1 Apalachee High School Shooting: Why the Shooter’s Father Was Convicted

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 14:13:00 GMT

When a school shooting happens, the focus is usually on the gunman.

But what happens when the parents are held responsible too?

In this episode of Stop the Killing, former FBI executive Katherine Schweit examines the landmark conviction of a father following the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, where two students and two teachers were killed in September 2024.

The case raises a question that is reshaping the legal landscape in the United States:

Can parents be criminally liable for the actions of their children?

Following a two-week trial and just two hours of jury deliberation, the father of the alleged teenage shooter was convicted on multiple charges including involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder.

In this episode, we unpack:

Why prosecutors argued the father was criminally negligent
How this case compares to the Oxford High School shooting parents’ convictions
The warning signs that appeared before the tragedy
The legal concept of parental liability in school shootings
What threat assessment teams can do to prevent violence
Why prosecutors may increasingly charge parents in future cases

This episode explores the difficult but urgent question:

Where does responsibility begin — and where does it end — when a child commits an act of mass violence?

Because the legal system may be entering a new era where parental decisions can carry criminal consequences.

Apalachee High School shooting
Parents charged in school shootings
Criminal negligence and gun ownership
Oxford High School shooting parents case
Warning signs before mass violence
Threat assessment teams in schools
Gun access and youth violence prevention
Legal accountability in school shootings

S6E1 Canada School Shooting: 10 Dead in British Columbia — Mental Health, Gun Laws & Warning Signs

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:13:00 GMT

A small town in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia has been devastated.

An 18-year-old killed their mother and stepbrother before entering a local school. By the end of the day, six students, one teacher, and the shooter were dead. Twenty-five others were injured. In total, ten lives were lost.

In this episode of Stop the Killing, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program Katherine Schweit examines what we know so far about the Canada school shooting — and what communities can learn from it.

We explore:

Reported warning signs prior to the attack
Mental health gaps and intervention challenges
Canada’s firearm licensing system
How Canadian gun laws compare to the United States
The role of online violent content
What parents and schools should watch for

School shootings are rare in Canada. The last comparable tragedy of this scale occurred in 1989. That rarity can create a dangerous belief: “It can’t happen here.”

But prevention starts long before a trigger is pulled.

This episode focuses on awareness, intervention, and the practical steps communities can take to reduce risk.

Revisit: S4 E48 The Uvalde Shooting - A Comprehensive Analysis

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:53:00 GMT

(Re-Release – Companion Episode)

If you’ve listened to our recent update on Stop the Killing and want a clear, detailed reminder of what actually happened in Uvalde, this episode is for you.

In this companion re-release, former FBI executive and use-of-force expert Katherine Schweit walks listeners through the full factual timeline of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas — drawing directly from the U.S. Department of Justice’s extensive Critical Incident Review.

Rather than headlines or speculation, this episode breaks down:

What law enforcement knew — and when
How an active shooter was repeatedly misclassified as a barricaded subject
The complete 77-minute delay between first police entry and the shooter being stopped
The absence of command and control, despite dozens of officers on scene
Why training, leadership, and communication failures compounded minute by minute
How misinformation spread among responders, families, and medical teams
What the DOJ identified as systemic breakdowns, not individual hindsight errors

This episode also explains — in plain language — the critical difference between:

Active shooter response (immediate engagement to stop the killing), and
Barricaded subject protocols (containment and negotiation)

A distinction that mattered enormously — and tragically — in Uvalde.

For listeners following the current conversation and updates, this episode provides the essential context needed to understand:

Why Uvalde remains a case study in what must never happen again
How failures in leadership and coordination can override training
What lessons the DOJ says must be learned to prevent future loss of life

This is not an opinion piece.
It is a fact-driven reconstruction, based on hundreds of pages of official findings, and presented to ensure the truth is understood — not forgotten.

Stop the Killing examines critical incidents involving deadly force through the lens of experience, evidence, and accountability. Hosted by journalist Sarah Ferris and former FBI executive Katherine Schweit, the podcast focuses on what actually happened, why it matters, and how future tragedies can be prevented.

S6B7 UVALDE TRIAL VERDICT : What the Decision Really Means

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 05:32:00 GMT

The Uvalde Verdict: What the Decision Really Means

The verdict is in.

In this episode of Stop the Killing, former FBI executive and use-of-force expert Katherine Schweit breaks down the legal outcome of the Uvalde case — what the verdict establishes, what it doesn’t, and why accountability in cases like this is so often misunderstood.

This is not reactionary commentary. It’s a clear-eyed explanation of how deadly force law, command responsibility, and policy failures intersect — and why public expectations and legal reality rarely align.

🔁 Want the full story?
Our comprehensive deep-dive into the Uvalde shooting — covering the full timeline, systemic failures, and command breakdowns — is available right now for Apple and Patreon subscribers and releases tomorrow on the public feed.

In this episode:

What the verdict legally confirms — and what it leaves unresolved
Why criminal and civil accountability don’t operate the same way
How policy failures shaped the outcome
What this case means for future active-shooter response standards

S6B4 Uvalde School Shooting Trial: Can Police Be Criminally Charged for Failing to Act?

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:01:00 GMT

Nearly four years after the Uvalde school shooting, an unprecedented criminal trial is underway.

In this episode of Stop the Killing Podcast, former FBI executive and prosecutor Katherine Schweit examines the prosecution of a responding officer charged with 29 felony counts of abandoning or endangering a child — not for what he did, but for what prosecutors argue he failed to do.

This fact-based episode explains how failure-to-act cases are judged, what prosecutors must prove, and why this trial could reshape accountability in active shooter responses.

Revisited - UNDERSTANDING DEADLY FORCE — PART TWO with Jerri Williams

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:46:00 GMT

🎧 UNDERSTANDING DEADLY FORCE — PART TWO

Stop the Killing Podcast | S4E59

If you listened to last week’s bonus episode examining the Minnesota ICE agent shooting — where Katherine Schweit broke down the deadly force standard and whether it was lawful — and found yourself wanting to go deeper into how deadly force policies actually work, this episode is for you.

This is Part Two of our Understanding Deadly Force series, released to add further context and depth to the questions raised by that case — not by revisiting the incident itself, but by examining the policies, training, and human consequences behind deadly force decisions.

Hosts Sarah Ferris and Katherine Schweit are joined again by Jerri Williams, a retired FBI agent with 26 years of service, to explore what happens after a deadly force encounter — and why that aftermath matters just as much as the moment a trigger is pulled.

This episode picks up where Part One left off and focuses on:

Why officers involved in shootings must receive psychological and psychiatric support
How unresolved trauma can endanger officers, partners, and civilians
Why deadly force scenarios are mentally rehearsed — awake and asleep
The reality of firing until a threat is stopped, not “counting shots”
How training protocols evolved after catastrophic shootings
Why civilians are judged differently than law enforcement under deadly force laws
The legal and emotional risks civilians face when carrying and using a firearm
The persistent myth of the “good guy with a gun”

Listeners hear firsthand accounts from FBI agents who survived gunfights and lived with the consequences — not as spectacle, but as institutional knowledge meant to prevent future loss of life.

Public debate around deadly force often focuses on outcomes, not consequences.

This episode asks listeners to consider the weight of responsibility carried by those who use force — and the long shadow those decisions cast over careers, families, and lives.

It is not about defending or condemning any single case.It is about understanding what deadly force truly costs.

In this powerful episode, hosts Sarah Ferris and Katherine Schweit are joined by Jerri Williams, a retired FBI agent with 26 years of service, to unpack what actually goes into a decision to fire a weapon — long before a single shot is ever taken.

While our Minnesota ICE bonus episode focuses on how deadly force is legally evaluated after the fact, this conversation fills in the gaps by explaining:

What officers are trained to consider before force is used
The FBI’s deadly force policy and decision framework
The psychological burden of carrying a gun every day
Why split-second decisions are shaped by training, stress, and threat perception
Key differences between U.S. and UK law enforcement use-of-force standards

Together, these episodes give listeners a fuller picture of how deadly force decisions are made, reviewed, and judged — without political rhetoric or hindsight bias.

[00:00:00] Why deadly force is so widely misunderstood
[00:03:10] The FBI deadly force policy explained
[00:14:00] The psychological weight of carrying a firearm
[00:20:00] Making split-second life-or-death decisions
[00:30:00] Real FBI case experiences involving deadly force

Minnesota ICE Shooting: Former FBI Agent Explains the Deadly Force Standard — Was It Lawful?

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 06:11:00 GMT

In this episode of Stop the Killing Podcast, former FBI agent and prosecutor Katherine Schweit breaks down the fatal shooting of Renee Goode, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.

Rather than reacting to headlines or social media outrage, this episode focuses on one question only:

Did the officer’s actions meet the legal standard for the use of deadly force?

Drawing on Department of Justice policy, Supreme Court case law, and her own experience investigating officer-involved shootings, Schweit explains:

What “objectively reasonable” force actually means
When officers are legally prohibited from shooting at moving vehicles
Why anger, frustration, or refusal to comply do not justify deadly force
How federal investigations differ when the shooter is a federal agent
What investigators will be required to evaluate — regardless of politics

This episode does not reach a verdict.It explains the rules — so listeners can understand how this case will be judged.

DOJ and DHS deadly force policy
Shooting into a vehicle: what the law allows and forbids
Federal vs state investigations in officer-involved shootings
Why “escape” alone can never justify deadly force
What video evidence can — and cannot — tell us

This case has ignited protests and intense public debate.Understanding the actual legal standard is essential — especially when emotions are high and facts are still emerging.

S6 B1 When Civilians Save Lives: Bondi Beach, Holiday Headlines & Why Awareness Matters

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:01:00 GMT

In this bonus episode of Stop the Killing, Sarah shares why she felt compelled to release this previously recorded Thanksgiving episode today — after waking to the devastating news of the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia.

Early reports indicate two gunmen — a father and son — opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration. Amid the terror, a civilian, Ahmed Al Ahmed, intervened and wrestled the gun from one of the attackers, an extraordinary act of bravery that undoubtedly saved lives. His courage, and the countless other acts of heroism that day, deserve to be remembered alongside the victims of this horrific event.

Following Sarah’s reflection on Bondi Beach, Katherine Schweit walks listeners through the recent headlines across the United States — a stark reminder of the rise in everyday gun violence: shootings in parking lots, malls, tree-lighting ceremonies, restaurants, and road-rage encounters. These are not the mass-casualty attacks that dominate front-page news, but the far more frequent, unpredictable shootings that end lives and shatter families daily.

Katherine breaks down:

Why “every neighbourhood” is now potentially vulnerable
How small disputes escalate into gunfire
Why situational awareness is essential
The dangers of anger and firearms in the same moment
The toll of stress and the holiday season on suicide by firearm
How we can all be part of the solution this holiday season

This episode is a reminder that civilians can make a difference, heroes walk among us, and awareness — combined with empathy, grace, and responsible gun ownership — can save lives.

To the victims and families affected in Bondi Beach, and to all impacted by gun violence everywhere: our hearts go out to you.

The seven charges now filed, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child
The aggravating factors that could increase sentencing: children present at the shooting and targeting political expression

S6 B1 Charlie Kirk Assassination: FBI Expert Katherine Schweit Explains What We Know

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:16:00 GMT

Subscriber Exclusive Early Access

In this special briefing, retired FBI executive Katherine Schweit — former head of the Bureau’s Active Shooter Program — brings her insider expertise to unpack the assassination of political commentator Charlie Kirk.

Recorded just days after the Utah campus shooting, Katherine cuts through the noise of conspiracy theories and political spin to deliver verified facts: how the sniper carried out the attack, what evidence investigators recovered, and why the suspect’s background and online activity matter.

Drawing on her decades inside the FBI, Katherine explains the investigative process step by step — from sniper tactics to forensic analysis, possible charges, and how law enforcement builds a timeline to uncover motive. She also connects this case to the broader patterns she saw while leading the FBI’s response to mass shootings: political, ideological, or ego-driven violence that thrives in an atmosphere of hate.

Most importantly, Katherine leaves listeners with a call to action: recognize the warning signs, take responsibility for how we speak and share online, and choose kindness over division. Because preventing violence starts long before a trigger is pulled.

BONUS: BLOODSHED BADDIES x STOP THE KILLING

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 23:00:00 GMT

BONUS: BLOODSHED BADDIES x STOP THE KILLING

In this bonus episode, we're sharing a conversation originally recorded for the Bloodshed Baddies podcast—where our very own Katherine Schweit joins Lex and Sam for an unfiltered, fascinating, and sometimes funny deep dive into her career and mission.

From her early days in journalism to becoming the FBI’s top expert on active shooter response, Katherine reflects on how each chapter prepared her for the next—and why she's still working to prevent the next tragedy.

They also discuss Katherine’s latest book, Women Who Talk to the Dead, which tells the remarkable true story of two women—an FBI agent and a Detroit detective—who refused to let 200 unidentified murder victims remain forgotten. It’s a powerful tribute to persistence, justice, and the women working behind the scenes to give victims their names back.

If you’ve ever wanted a more personal look at the real-world work behind Stop the Killing, this is the episode for you.

Behind the Badge: Katherine’s journey from journalist to prosecutor to FBI executive—and what those career turns taught her about justice.

Mass Shooting Prevention: How Stop the Killing came to be, and why Katherine’s fight against gun violence didn’t stop after retiring from the FBI.

A Book Born from Justice: The incredible backstory of Women Who Talk to the Dead—and how DNA, determination, and a cemetery in Detroit led to one of the most moving cases of Katherine’s career.

True Crime and Real Impact: Why the women behind this story—and the law enforcement community who stood beside them—remind us all of the power of not giving up.

S5B21 NEW YEAR'S DAY TERROR: BOURBON STREET ATTACK & PIPE BOMB THREAT

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

Episode Update: NEW YEAR'S DAY TERROR: BOURBON STREET ATTACK & PIPE BOMB THREAT

Since recording this episode, the FBI has provided new details about the New Orleans attack on Bourbon Street. Initially, there were concerns about multiple individuals being involved, particularly those seen near the explosive devices concealed in coolers. However, investigators have now confirmed they are confident this was the act of a single offender.

The people initially thought to be co-conspirators were, in fact, curious onlookers who happened to be near the devices. This clarification significantly changes the scope of the investigation but reinforces the importance of staying vigilant and informed about threats to public safety.

We’ll continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.

Episode Description

This bonus episode of Stop the Killing examines the tragic events of New Year’s Day 2025, when a man drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 15 people and injuring dozens more. The discovery of pipe bombs and an ISIS flag led authorities to classify the attack as an act of terrorism.

Katherine Schweit provides an overview of the attack, the ongoing investigation, and the broader implications for public safety. This episode includes Katherine’s radio interview, where she answers questions about this incident and its connection to a similar event in Las Vegas.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the hidden layers of school safety with Dr. Sarah Stilwell, a leading researcher from the University of Michigan’s National Center for School Safety. Dr. Stilwell brings an innovative approach to creating safer schools—one that goes beyond physical barriers like metal detectors and explores a truly comprehensive model that supports both physical and psychological safety for students.

Dr. Stilwell explains the "hidden formula" to effective school safety strategies that focus on the whole environment. She breaks down her model, which balances physical measures with social and attentive strategies to foster a safer, more supportive school community. Discover how comprehensive school safety isn’t just about reacting to threats, but proactively building a culture of safety, trust, and equity for all students.

Key Topics:

What “comprehensive school safety” really means
Why physical safety measures aren’t enough on their own
How social and attentive strategies can prevent incidents before they occur
Practical steps schools can take to implement a balanced safety model
The importance of equity in school safety measures

HOW FLAG LAWS SAVE LIVES: LESSONS FROM LEWISTON

In this episode of Stop the Killing, we explore the real-life impact of red and yellow flag laws in preventing gun violence and saving lives. Using the Lewiston, Maine tragedy as a case study, we discuss how flag laws function as critical tools for law enforcement, families, and communities in averting potential acts of violence and suicide.

Our conversation covers:

How red and yellow flag laws differ and why each matters.
Real-world examples of how flag laws have saved lives.
The challenges law enforcement faces in states with limited flag law protections.
Why knowing your state’s flag laws could make a life-saving difference.

We also examine recent changes to Maine’s yellow flag law in the wake of the Lewiston shooting, which have led to a surge in its use. Discover how awareness, action, and legislation work together to prevent tragedies and save lives.

Tune in to understand how these laws operate, why they’re effective, and how you can advocate for safer communities.

Under the Radar: The Oxford School Shooter Report - A 'Stop the Killing' Episode Breakdown

Part Two

Part Two: Unraveling the Oxford High Shooter's Background

In this second part of the deep dive into the Oxford High School shooting, the hosts discuss the shooter's academic performance and demeanor leading up to the tragic event, where he killed four people and pleaded guilty to terrorism. Insights from a comprehensive report on the shooter, who was a 10th grader at the time, reveal interviews with teachers and classmates that paint a picture of him as quiet, engaged in some classes but struggling academically, especially post the COVID-19 lockdown. Distinctly, he showed a significant academic decline starting early November, coinciding with his complete halt in submitting assignments for several classes. Strikingly, journal entries from the shooter express his frustration, depression, and the desire to be noticed by adults as potentially dangerous. Despite the shooter's troubling signs, including an interest in guns and explicit mentions of shooting plans in his journal, the show discusses systemic failures at multiple levels that failed to preemptively address the shooter's deteriorating mental health and intent. The conversation also explores the complicated issue of privacy and parental oversight in the context of recognizing warning signs in children.

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 23:00:00 GMT

THE UVALDE SHOOTING : A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

In this podcast, Katherine analyzes the extensive report from the Department of Justice on the Uvalde school shooting incident in Texas, released a few weeks after the incident. She breaks down the facts, failures, and the lack of proper response failing to neutralize the active shooter, resulting in 19 children and 2 adults killed, over an hour response time, and a failure in leadership and protocol. Katherine also discusses the importance of active shooter training being crucial for law enforcement and stresses the need for coordinating across multiple agencies in times of crisis. Recommendations for the future are suggested in hopes of faster, more effective responses in an attempt to prevent such incidents and minimize casualties.

Reflection on the Buffalo Grocery Store Shooting

S4E47

In this episode, Katherine and Sarah discuss the aftermath of the racially-motivated Buffalo Grocery Store Shooting that claimed ten lives, reflecting on the sense of responsibility felt by emergency responders. The hosts reveal a specific incident concerning a 911 dispatcher, who was fired for incompetently handling a call during the shooting incident. The dispatcher, following eight years of employment, was reported to have yelled at and hung up on a store assistant manager for being too quiet on the phone, potentially due to the manager's fear of drawing the active shooter's attention.

ANATOMY OF TERROR

The Oslo, Norway attack 2011

Part 1

This episode of 'Stop The Killing' investigates the devastating 2011 Norway attacks, the deadliest mass shooting ever reported. We discuss the comprehensive planning involved, involving both a car bomb near the executive government quarters that killed 8 people and injured 209 in Oslo, followed by an active shooting on a youth camp on an island nearby that resulted in the killing of 69 people, mostly teenagers. The perpetrator, motivated by extremist right-wing beliefs, was able to execute his plan with chilling precision due to extensive pre-meditation and deceptive tactics. The horrific events and their significant aftermath put into perspective the unexpected challenges faced by law enforcement in such chaotic scenarios and highlight the importance of emergency preparedness.

S4E44 MASS SHOOTING TO MASS DECEPTION

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT

FROM MASS SHOOTING TO MASS DECEPTION

The Case of Alex Jones and the Sandy Hook Families

The podcast episode delves into the continuation of the legal battle between the Sandy Hook families and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who spread false theories that the horrific Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. Despite being sued and ordered to pay a massive $1.5 billion judgment by the court, Jones has avoided this payment using bankruptcy claims and continues to generate significant wealth through his media company. The Sandy Hook families have since reduced their demand to $85 million, but Jones still refuses to pay, all while continuing to earn substantially from his conspiracy theory-based venture. The episode explores the manipulation and harm caused by Jones' actions and the distressing reality of these families who have been relentlessly harassed and lied about for a decade.

RAGE, GUNS AND TRAGEDY

Unraveling the Complexity of Gun Violence: The Case of a Louisville Bank Shooting

In this episode of Stop the Killing, we discuss a horrific case of a shooting that occurred in a Louisville, Kentucky bank. The shooter, a 25-year-old bank employee struggling with depression, shot five coworkers and a freshly graduated police officer before being killed. What sets this case apart is the shooter's clear objection to US gun laws and his intention to demonstrate how easy it was for someone with mental health issues to purchase an assault-style weapon. Highlighting the case's shocking and uniquely confounding details, we contemplate the difficulty of identifying potential shooters and emphasize the need for continued awareness and vigilance.

S4B30 TWISTED FAMILY SECRETS: Unraveling the Truth Behind the Oxford High School Tragedy

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 12:00:00 GMT

TWISTED FAMILY SECRETS

The Groundbreaking Oxford School Shooting Case: Parental Role Reconsidered

BONUS EPISODE

This episode with Katherine Schweit on the Stop the Killing podcast re-examines the Oxford High School shooting case in Michigan. Three years after the incident involving a 15-year-old boy who killed four classmates, the case remains significant due to the charges faced by the shooter's parents for involuntary manslaughter, a first in the United States. Easily remembered for the parents failing to take responsibility and optimal care in firearm management, the case asks challenging questions about parental responsibility. The trial of the mother has concluded with guilty verdicts for all charges, resulting in potential imprisonment for 60 years. The parents' lack of transparency and alleged aiding of their son made them appear as indirectly involved parties. The father’s trial will be the next event to watch out for and is anticipated to proceed with a different defensive strategy. With the prosecution's strategy already been public knowledge, their defense must work on something alternative yet convincing. Beyond the specifics of the case, the episode delves into evident shifts in perspectives regarding parental negligence and culpability in such incidents, suggesting that prosecutors and district attorneys might now look more critically at higher charges for parents and guardians in similar future situations.

SWATTING THE NEW THREAT

S4E34

Katherine and Sarah discuss the issue of swatting, a criminal harassment tactic of tricking an emergency service into sending a response team to another person's address. Katherine and Sarah discuss how swatting has evolved over the years, moving from school bomb-threat pranks to a more dangerous, sophisticated level, potentially orchestrated internationally. They also highlight how swatting creates a climate of fear and affects perceptions of school safety. The discussion includes various aspects of swatting, such as its categorized actions, examples, motives, tracing strategies, and potential impacts.

S4E32 - I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS

In this episode of Stop the Killing, we delve deep into one of America's darkest days with N. Leigh Hunt, author of "I Don't Like Mondays". This is an exploration of the first modern American school shooting, which happened on January 29, 1979, at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California.

**Key Highlights:**

1. Leigh explains the infamous case, its context, and why it has an enduring impact on the American psyche.

2. He shares insights into the then 16-year-old female shooter, her controversial statement "I don't like Mondays", and where she is now.

3. We discuss the victims of this tragic event and how the lives of the survivors were forever altered.

4. The conversation touches on the significant societal changes that followed this shooting, such as the transformation of California laws and school security changes.

5. A look at the revealing communication between Leigh and imprisoned shooters reflects on the complexities of remorse, regret, and the pursuit of redemption.

Join us for this compelling conversation, as we continue to seek answers and possibilities for prevention in our mission to 'Stop the Killing'.

S4E30 OVERALL DYSFUNCTION - VIRGINIA BEACH REPORT

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 00:00:00 GMT

OVERALL DYSFUNCTION - VIRGINIA BEACH REPORT

Welcome to the Stop the Killing podcast, where we look into the findings of the Virginia Beach shooting report. On May 31, 2019, a disgruntled employee walked into his workplace and opened fire, killing 12 and injuring 4. There are some unbelievable findings that will leave you floored.

Here are some key takeaways from our review:

The Virginia Beach shooting was a devastating incident that changed the lives of many families in the city1.
The shooter used a silencer and high-capacity magazine, which may be among the issues that Virginia lawmakers consider when they meet for a special session on gun control2.
Independent investigators say they have turned up no clear motive for the mass shooting3.
A report on the Virginia Beach mass shooting recommends more training for police and a fund for victims5.

S4MB2 NORTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY SHOOTING

Sun, 10 Sep 2023 23:00:00 GMT

S4MB2 NORTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY SHOOTING

In this special episode of the podcast, we discuss the recent shooting that took place at North Carolina University. The campus was in lockdown for hours as students and faculty members feared for their lives. The incident has sparked a renewed discussion about the "run, hide, fight" protocol that is often taught in active shooter situations.

The shooting was covered extensively in the media, with the campus newspaper The Daily Tar Heel running a front-page article the following day. The article included messages from social media and texts from students who were on campus during the lockdown. The fear was undeniably palpable, and it's clear that we need to revisit our approach to these types of situations.

Join us as we delve into the details of the North Carolina University shooting and explore why it's so important to have a plan in place for active shooter situations.

S4E16 KATHERINE'S SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 05:00:00 GMT

Putting 'How to Talk About Guns with Anyone' into Practice

In this bonus episode of Stop the Killing, hosts Sarah Ferris and Katherine Schweit discuss Katherine's new book, "How to Talk About Guns with Anyone," which aims to provide the necessary information and tips for having sensible conversations about firearms without turning them into arguments.

Join them as they delve into this important conversation but here is the twist, they are joined by two special guests from some would say different sides of the gun debate and we see just how well talking about guns with anyone flows in practice. Join us to find out just who our special guests are.

This episode is part one of a bonus series. To find the subsequent episodes in the series head to the Apple and Patreon links below and click subscribe. Along with all the bonus, early access, Ad-free content you will find the next episodes of this series on Tuesdays.

Today, Sarah and Katherine dive deep into the hot topic of gun control and background checks. So grab your headphones and get ready for some thought-provoking conversation!

In this episode, we explore the differing views on government involvement in gun control and background checks.

One of our guests, sees it as government overreach and interference in his life, while our other guest believes it is necessary for public safety. It's a classic clash of perspectives, and we can't wait to hear what you think about it!

We also tackle the issue of background checks and licensing for gun purchases. One of our guests suggests a system similar to the TSA, where individuals can undergo a background check and receive a license that allows them to bypass future checks when buying guns. But guest number two expresses concerns about potential abuse of this system and the need for stricter management. What are your thoughts on this? Could such a system work effectively?

The conversation takes an interesting turn as we discuss the importance of background checks for gun sales and the concept of straw purchases. One participant argues that background checks are necessary to prevent sales to individuals with emotional or psychological issues or criminal backgrounds. But another counters that private sales, like those at gun shows, are not a major concern.

What's your take on this? Should background checks be mandatory for all gun sales, including private ones?

So, what are your opinions on government involvement in gun control and background checks? Do you believe in stricter regulations or do you think it's government overreach? Should background checks be mandatory for all gun sales? And what about training for gun owners? We want to hear your insights and perspectives!

S4E5 SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED?

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 05:00:00 GMT

SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED?

Understanding Sexually Frustrated Mass Shooters with Professor Adam Lankford

Are sexually frustrated men more likely to become mass shooters? This is the provocative question that Professor Adam Lankford, a criminologist from the University of Alabama, explores in his research. In a recent episode of the Stop the Killing podcast, hosted by Sarah and Katherine, Lankford shares his insights on the link between sexual deprivation and mass violence.

According to Lankford, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that many mass shooters have a history of sexual frustration, rejection, or humiliation. This can lead to feelings of anger, resentment, and revenge, which may fuel their desire to commit a violent act. Lankford argues that understanding this dynamic can help us prevent future tragedies by addressing the root causes of male violence.

If you want to learn more about Lankford's research and insights, we highly recommend listening to the Stop the Killing podcast episode featuring him and click the link Here to his website for access to more of his groundbreaking research.

SEASON 3 BONUS 22

This was indeed a bonus episode that started with a casual chat and then slid into another listener-question episode.

This is the question that sparked our discussion this episode

‘Please ask Sarah if she has data on how many of the active shooters used their own legally registered guns to do what they did. Also, ask her for the list and cost of the guns used in the most recent incident and tell us how and where a teen was able to source and pay for them. Curious.” Mae Mae

We love a listener question and this one is so relatable!

‘I know it's best to raise a noise when you see something concerning, but at a personal level, the aftermath of doing so would probably give me a bit of pause….”

Would you be brave enough to put your head above the parapet and take action if you saw your teens social media feed and came across something that had your alarm bells ringing?

BONUS 19 MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 06:00:00 GMT

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

13th February 2023

As we go to record this episode, it is 3 days since the tragic shooting at Michigan State University, which left 3 dead, and 5 fighting for their lives in hospital. Another tragic event that just happens to be even closer to home than usual for Katherine, as a former student of MSU.

We await many more details as the case unfolds and will return in a fuller episode when we know more but already the case has some intriguing aspects that don’t fit what we usually see in a shooting at an educational facility.

Is there a link between the 43 year old shooter and the campus that we are yet to discover and if not how unusual is it to have a university shooter not related to the campus in some way?

S3 BONUS 12 A TIDDLER OF A BONUS!

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT

A TIDDLER OF A BONUS!

S3 BONUS 12

Today’s bonus episode is another installment of the interviews Katherine recorded at the Firearm Injury Research Conference at the end of 2022.

Katherine talked to Justin Hatchimonji and Danielle R. Hatchimonji about their research below:

Trends in Youth Risk Behaviors and Firearm Injury in the US Over 20 Years:

For the first time in the US, firearm injuries are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents. Little is known about the correlation between youth risk behaviors and firearm injury. We hypothesized that high rates of risky behavior in high school students are associated with higher rates of firearm injury in this population. Methods: We obtained data from the Youth Behavior Risk Survey (YRBS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and combined it with data from the CDC Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) and CDC Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) databases. Population and demographic data were obtained from the American Community Survey (ACS), 2001-2020. We examined trends over time using a nonparametric test for trend and assessed correlation between behaviors and injuries using linear regression. Results: The percentage of high school aged youth carrying a weapon in the preceding 30 days ranged from 13.2% in 2019 to 18.5% in 2005, without a statistically significant trend over time (p=0.051). Those carrying a weapon to school peaked at 6.5% in 2005 and steadily down-trended to 2.8% in 2019 (p=0.004). Fighting and the presence of drugs on school grounds also decreased over time. Conversely, firearm deaths among adolescents 14-18 years old showed no significant change, ranging from 4.0 per 100k in 2013 to 8.3 per 100k in 2020. Non-fatal shootings (26.0-47.1/100k) and total shootings (31.3-53.7/100k) also showed no change. There was no correlation between risky behaviors and these outcomes. Conclusion/Significance: Self-reported firearm carriage, school fighting and the presence of drugs on high school grounds in the US have steadily down-trended over time. However, shooting injuries and deaths have not. While the former suggests progress, the latter remains concerning. Further work to investigate the relationship between behavior and injury is needed.

The shooter has been identified as a 57-year-old man who was an employee of the VTA. He opened fire at the VTA facilities around 6:30 am, killing 8 people and injuring several others before taking his own life.

The circumstances surrounding the attack are harrowing, with people trapped with this 'grievance collector' killer in a conference room with one door in and one door out…..

S3E10 BEHIND THE (CRIME) SCENES

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 06:00:00 GMT

S3E10 FBI - BEHIND THE (CRIME) SCENES

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a law enforcement agency like no other. It has a wide range of responsibilities, from investigating terrorist activity to fighting public corruption to providing law enforcement training. And while the FBI is often in the news for its high-profile cases, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. And communicating that to the press and public is a well honed craft.

In this episode, Former Assistant Communications Director of the FBI, Michael Kortan, joins Stop the Killing Podcast to share his highlights and lowlights in his 30 year career all condensed in a whistle stop 30 minutes!

A career that as you might expect includes working on September 11 and the Oklahoma Bombing but it might surprise you to know that the FBI also has strong links with Hollywood….In fact you may want to listen and to this episode with a plate of “Fava beans and a nice Chianti!”

S3 BONUS LISTENER QUESTION 7

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

THE HESITATION CIRCLE

With the current state of the world, it's more important than ever to be vigilant and report any suspicious behavior. But who needs to report what, and to whom? In this episode, thanks to a brilliant question from our listener, Greg, we will explore who needs to report suspicious behavior, and what type of behavior is considered suspicious and essentially who to report said info to!

There are a number of reasons why people might be reluctant to report suspicious behavior, but in this episode the more surprising revelation is who SHOULD report it...... and who falls into "The Hesitation Circle".

If you see something suspicious, say something. It's up to all of us to help keep our communities safe. By reporting suspicious behavior, you could be helping to prevent crime and keeping people safe. So if you see something that doesn't seem right, trust your instincts and report it.

And if you have a question get in touch on instagram.

S3E7 RUSSIAN SCHOOL SHOOTING 2022

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

S3E7 Russian School Shooting

Izhevsk 26 September 2022

And just to prove the heinous point that school shootings are not only a US problem…… in this episode we uncover what is known about the recent Russian school shooting in Izhevsk that left 17 people dead and 24 people wounded on the 26th of September, 2022.

We often think of this frightening concern about mass killings and we say, “Oh, this is such a US phenomena.” It is not necessarily true from a worldwide standpoint.

Firearms exist all over the world and it's a risk that is occurring more frequently and on an international basis. It is a worldwide threat, which is sadly, not something Katherine would have said only a few years ago.

S3 BONUS 5 LIFE OR DEATH?

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 06:00:00 GMT

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas School Shooter sentencing

On October 17 2022, a Florida judge sentenced the Parkland school shooter to life in prison without parole. It’s been nearly five years since the shooting that killed 17 people and injured 17 others on Valentine’s Day. The then, 19-year-old gunman had pleaded guilty leaving a Jury to decide whether he would face life in prison or the death penalty.

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooter was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, a judge ruled escaping the death penalty that was also on the table.

However, it is doubtful that this will be the end of the story. There is the possibility of appeals, and even if those are unsuccessful, just how long will the victims' families and survivors be stuck in a cycle of reliving the worst day of their lives before they can get some legal closure?

THE $965 MILLION VERDICT

SANDY HOOK VERSUS ALEX JONES

S3LQ4

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut. Twenty-six people were killed, including twenty children between six and seven years old. The perpetrator also shot and killed his mother before driving to the school.

In the wake of the tragedy, conspiracy theories began to circulate that the shooting was a hoax. One of the most prominent voices pushing these theories was radio host Alex Jones of Infowars. Jones claimed that the shooting was staged by the government in order to promote gun control. Now, nearly ten years later, Jones was sued for defamation by some of the Sandy Hook families and community and ordered to pay $965 million in compensatory damages.....

But does the ruling have any teeth…..?

What you you do? WOULD YOU HIT RECORD....?

GOLD STANDARD SCHOOL DRILLS

Listener Question

Season 3 is coming soon but while you wait ……

Here is this weeks listener question

“As we come back to the schools, training and drills start back up. What I don’t understand is if the Obama Administration put together a team, lead by Katherine, that developed Run, Hide, Fight. Why was it not pushed out to all schools in the U.S? Because I find what I’ve learned from both of you in this podcast is not what I’m told to do during a lockdown drill at school and school pays for that misinformation.”

COPS AND ROBBERS

Listener Question 4

While Katherine and Sarah are working on Season 3 we have recorded some mini episodes answering listener questions. Make sure to subscribe wherever you listen and be the first to hear Season 3, coming soon.

Thanks to Brittreadsbooks for today’s question.

“My son is 3 - we are in Australia where guns aren't common. He LOVES playing "shooting"with nerf guns, "stick em up" etc. We don't encourage but is it anything to be concerned about as he gets older or is some of it "natural". I don't think he's going to be a shooter but more opening conversation the right way as he gets older and understands.”

SPECIAL CROSSOVER EPISODE WITH NEWT GINGRICH

While Katherine and I are working on Season 3 we wanted to take the break in our normal transmission to share other podcasts Katherine has guested on.

Katherine recently guested on Newt’s World podcast (episode 441 )

“After the recent mass shootings in the last several weeks in Buffalo, New York, Uvalde, Texas and Highland Park, Illinois – the country has been challenged with how to put a stop to these mass shootings. But first, we need to understand who these mass shooters are and why they decide to act. Newt’s guest is Katherine Schweit. She is an author, attorney, former Chicago prosecutor, and career FBI special agent. While at the FBI, she wrote the seminal research entitled, “A Study of 160 Active Shooter Incidents in the United States 2000-2013.” Her recent book, “Stop the Killing: How to End the Mass Shooting Crisis” was released last year. “

SPECIAL CROSS OVER EPISODE WITH FRANK FIGLIUZZI

Katherine recently guested on his podcast THE BUREAU and we figured, if you love a little Stop the Killing it’s not a massive leap to think that The Bureau might be right up your street or maybe you just need a bit of a Katherine Schweit weekly fix of common sense! Either way here is the episode she guested on from the 19th of April 2022

Our first in a series of listener question episodes comes from Carolyn, who is one of our fabulous Patreon supporters.

Her question relates to the Oxford episodes (Season 2 Episodes 2 and 3). “The past two episodes on the shooting at Oxford were personal to me. I could not understand how the school let the student go back to the class on his own after the meeting with the parents and it wasn't until I had my own experience of reporting something where I question what happens after educators say something and is it possible that there is not a process that is followed?

CHRISTCHURCH - HATRED WITHOUT BORDERS

We are going back to Sarah’s home country for a local case that rocked the world, the Christchurch Mosque massacres, note that is plural……massacres.

If Christchurch, New Zealand isn’t your backyard then it may seem a world away but the Christchurch shooting is to white supremacists what Columbine is to school shooters

This is hatred without borders.

It may not have happened in your backyard but it may be the reason the next shooting is….

BONUS 11 * MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH*

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 05:00:00 GMT

BONUS 11 MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING

PARKLAND, FLORIDA

February 14th, 2018 Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida joined the club that no school wants to be a member of - a school name now synonymous with a horrific school shooting where the killer killed 17, 14 of them were students and injured 17.

We will be revisiting this case in depth later in the season with interviews from the parents of two of the victims; Alex Schachter, 14 and Alaina Petty also 14.

But as this case has a live killer who is currently being sentenced we wanted to give a brief overview of where things are at currently. And we will be, later in the season, looking at how things came to that point - where a 19 year old former student of the school jumped out of an Uber and subsequently ended the lives of 17 innocent students and teachers.

S2 E11 TERRORISM UK

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 06:00:00 GMT

EP 11 TERRORISM IN THE UK

Conversation with Mark Scoular

Katherine and Sarah draw back the curtains on what it means to protect the UK from Terrorism with Mark Scoular….

Mark has dedicated himself to protecting the UK, its citizens and visitors to the UK as well as preparing our multi-agency emergency responders & special forces to keep our country secure against all manner of terrorist/non-terrorist related attacks and civil disaster. Within 26 years as a Metropolitan Police Officer, he worked extensively on leading the UK’s International effort to share knowledge and experience with Police, Fire, Ambulance, Military and Private/voluntary sector colleagues from those who are likely to be on scene first-responders (Operational) through to Senior leaders and government officials (Strategic).

He has worked alongside and partnered some of the most forward thinking, progressive and internationally recognised centres of excellence around the globe and has years of proven leadership at all levels.

From joining the Royal Marines Commando’s in 1983, through to Head of Emergency Preparedness for the London 2012 Olympic Games and finally as Head of International PROTECT and PREPARE for National Counter Terrorism Policing Headquarters in the UK, Mark relishes and rises to the challenges of forming strategically powerful partnerships and delivering outstanding results…

S2E10 TAFT HIGH SHOOTING

Thu, 11 Aug 2022 08:51:00 GMT

TAFT HIGH SCHOOL - BULLYING

Let’s talk about bullying - recent crime statistics in the U.S. National Crime Victimization Survey done by the American National Center for Education and the U.S. Bureau of Justice, indicated 22% of students said they had experienced bullying.

And then layer on this statistic, although there's 22%, who said they experienced bullying, they believe only 20% of bullying is reported.

Which means most kids experience bullying in some way or another. This episode explores the idea that sometimes bullying is used as an excuse....... and it's never an excuse for shooting.

We discuss the case of Taft High School, a shooting that happened close to a month after the Sandy Hook Massacre but with very different outcomes.

BONUS 10 PRAY IT AWAY?

In the midst of all these school shootings in the United States, probably very few people heard about this shooting that happened at a Church in California, where a person was killed and five were injured when a subject came in and shot them and tried to actually fire bomb the Church.

What is the impact of these increasingly common faith based attacks on communities?

Should you ‘pray it away’ or arm your Altar Boys and Girls?

S2E9 PORT ARTHUR MASSACRE AUSTRALIA

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 07:56:00 GMT

PORT ARTHUR MASSACRE AUSTRALIA

What would happen if we got rid of the guns?

The million dollar question and to answer it this episode we are firing up the time machine and heading back to 1996 in Port Arthur on the Australian Island of Tasmania. After this shooting, the country's whole governing authorities pass the toughest gun laws in the world.

It's really interesting to think in every country, we have this question about how guns play into it and what would happen if we got rid of the guns.

And yet, in fact, we have an experiment going on right now of a country that essentially did get rid of all their high powered guns.

Katherine and Sarah are joined by Dr Adam Lankford - Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Alabama. We tap into the results of his global study to see what the stats say.

Tune in and find out the results….. Did the country descend into anarchy or was it an end to mass shootings?

He is the author of a 2016 study: Public Mass Shooters and Firearms : A Cross-National Study of 171 Countries. A study that seeks to answer the question of whether gun access equals higher rates of mass shootings.

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 04:00:00 GMT

SAVING SYCAMORE The School Shooting that never was….

S2E6

We've got a very special interview for you this episode. Normally each episode of STOP THE KILLING we find ourselves trolling through the loss and devastation caused in the aftermath of a mass shooting. But this episode, we've a sliding doors story with a different ending.

S2E4 COLUMBINE - CONVERSATION WITH FRANK DEANGELIS

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 09:00:00 GMT

COLUMBINE- A CONVERSATION WITH FRANK DEANGELIS

Former Principal of Columbine High School

We are joined by special guest and good friend of Katherine’s, Frank DeAngelis, former Principal of Columbine High School

Frank shares his best learnings since that fateful day on the 20th of April 1999 when two students, after a failed bombing attempt, opened fire inside the school, killing 12 students and one teacher, injuring many, many more.

“one of the lessons that I learned is that we can all experience the same event, but how we deal with it, we deal with it differently."

BONUS 4 UVALDE UPDATE

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 04:00:00 GMT

****UPDATE BONUS EPISODE UVALDE SHOOTING*******

As this case unfolds we are seeing a very different picture…

This episode we take a look at the timeline that has recently come to light and Katherine runs her FBI trained eyes over the actions taken by law enforcement on the scene.

Just who was in charge that day?

Responding law enforcement was on scene within 3 minutes with all the gear so why did no one stop the active shooter for 1 hour and 14 minutes?

Something is not right…

We discuss how far those actions were from the protocols and training and the horrific consequences.

And now we add “Uvalde” to the list of schools that are known by just their name……Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Oxford……let’s not let ‘Never again’ fade into “Until next time” .

Please share the podcast and be part of the solution.

S2E3 OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL PART 2

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 09:00:00 GMT

OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING PART TWO

Near Detroit, Michigan

On November the 30th 2021, a 15 year old student came out of the bathroom and opened fire. Tragically four students lost their lives and seven more were left with injuries.

In PART TWO we are again joined again by Frank DeAngelis and Meggan Preston as we look at the significance of the legal charges that make this case so unique.

As regular listeners know, we usually take a look in depth at the killer’s background, looking at pinch points along where somebody could have seen something and said something. Understanding what the behaviors of concern are is key to preventing these shootings in the first place. However, as this particular case is so recent and still being tried in court the details of his background are light but we will circle back to it in a later episode.

This is a watershed case, with not only domestic terrorism charges being laid against the shooter but involuntary manslaughter charges against the parents. Will it change the way parents allow their children to have access to weapons?

There is so much to unpack in this case that we have split it over two parts. We are joined by special guests, Frank DeAngelis, former Principal of Columbine High School and Katherine’s niece Meggan Preston who lives 30 minutes away from Oxford School.

BONUS 2: UVALDE - ROBB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MASSACRE

Thu, 26 May 2022 23:03:00 GMT

UVALDE, TEXAS

ROBB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

*******UPDATE*********

This was recorded with the information to hand straight after the shooting. As is always the case, information is coming clearer in the days that follow and we will most definitely be revisiting this incident with the new and shocking information that is coming to light.

Well, with heavy, heavy hearts, here we are again……On May 24, 2022, an 18-year-old opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, United States, killing nineteen students and two teachers, and wounding seventeen people. Earlier that day, he had shot and wounded his grandmother. He was shot and killed on the scene by a Border Patrol agent.

Our hearts go out to the family of the victims, the survivors and the community now facing rebuilding and recovering from this horrific crime.

Katherine and Sarah want to take this moment to remind everyone now is the time to be vigilant because we know, from research, that in the two weeks following a shooting, there will be THREE MORE MASS SHOOTINGS.

This is the time to be extra vigilant, take notice of the people in your life. There will be signs……

Who is off hiding in their room?

Who has notebooks they're filling out?

Who is online for an extraordinary amount of time and closes the screen when you come?

Please, lock your guns up. Understand that people who are brittle right now, and maybe on the edge of doing this are going to see this action and that it is going to prompt them to kill.

Episode 11 - ARAMOANA SIEGE

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 11:00:00 GMT

SEASON 1 EPISODE 11

ARAMOANA MASSACRE

For this, the final episode of season one, we're heading to Aramoana, a sleepy New Zealand outpost where one man has the entire town under siege for an astonishing 22 hours.

We have been focusing on US mass based shootings so far in the season, however, we know mass shootings are not unique to the Unites States. And as long as there are bad people, there's always going to be a global aspect to mass shootings.

So this week Sarah has challenged Katherine to a case that's from her old little sleepy neck of the woods in New Zealand.

Think of this episode as an FBI ride along.

We get to see how Katherine looks at a case that she's never actually seen before, And it's fascinating the salient facts that she pulls out.

On November 13th 1990, an argument between two neighbours develops resulting in one neighbour entering his house and starting on what will be a 22hour siege of Aramoana leaving 13 dead and many injured.

Do you think New Zealand gun laws are more robust than the US and how different are the gateway checks are preventing guns being accessed by killers like this in New Zealand?

Episode 10 - HOLY HELL IN SUTHERLAND SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 11:00:00 GMT

It was just after 1am on a Sunday morning in November 2017, a 26 year old man climbed from his car in the parking lot of this tiny first Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Almost immediately, he shoots at two people standing outside the church, the shooter enters through a side door and for 15 minutes, he fires indiscriminately walking up and down the aisle.

In all, 48 people were either killed or wounded.

This is the case where the reporting system failed and this individual was able to purchase several guns…….LEGALLY.

Whether you are for guns or against, it’s just NOT the point - the legal checks and balances in place to stop weapons falling into the hands of those deemed unfit are failing the communities they are there to protect.

If all you focus on are the guns, you're failing to see all the other things that you can do to stop the killing because there are so many other ways that we can prevent killings.

But prevention is the key. Only if we try to help find these potential shooters before they strike.

Episode 9 - FEDEX SHOOTING

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 11:00:00 GMT

On April 15th, 2021, a 19 year old man, carrying two semi-automatic rifles began shooting outside of a FedEx ground facility.

He entered the business, continued to shoot people for about four minutes before turning the weapon on himself and killing himself.

So in all he killed eight people and he shot another five, a couple of other people also suffered injuries.

At first glance this looks like a case of workplace violence but as Katherine reveals the workplace could really have been any number of locations.

In fact the FBI's behavioral team said his actions were, an act of suicidal murder . Let that sink in for a moment…..an act of suicidal murder.

Episode 8 - COLUMBINE

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 11:00:00 GMT

Everybody knows the word Columbine but do you know the real story?

In this episode we're really going to learn about two different stories about this infamous day. One is false and one that's really the true crime story.

“ Their plan was an utter failure. So when other people try to emulate them, my answer to that would be... you want to be failures?” Katherine

As soon as these two kids entered the school, they recognized that all their planning was a failure. Their whole plan is not going to be executed.

There really is no way to copycat this.

Columbine has become a rally cry for people who are troubled, an excuse to commit violence

Anytime you hear a student or a young adult talking about Columbine, you should check your hesitation at the door. You should immediately share that information with somebody, whether it's a tip line, whether it's parents, whether it's faculty, counselors, police, really all of them, even if it's a school project, share the information.

The killing began at 7.30 in the morning on April 16th, 2007 in Blacksburg, Virginia.

The shooter killed two people in a dormitory on the college campus. Then two and a half hours later, he chained the doors shut in a classroom building on the campus and he began shooting students and faculty. In all 32 people were killed and another 17 wounded, at least six other students were injured when they jumped from a second floor, classroom window in the end, the shooter committed suicide.

This case is the most important case for why not to name a shooter. It is the ultimate case where the public and the media let the shooter, even in his death, control the narrative.

The man who did this, it's totally his fault. But all of the people along the way let the guard rails down a little bit on the road and for whatever reason, at a given time, he drove the car off the road.

Find out how we can all keep those guard rails up.

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 10:00:00 GMT

This episode Katherine and Sarah discuss shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas.

It's an event, not unlike one that many of us have been to before but imagine watching your favorite country star performing when all of sudden he legs it off the stage and chaos erupts as a hail of bullets coming from an unknown location bears down on the 22,000 unsuspecting concert goers. Pure mayhem caused by pure evil.

Ask yourself, would you know how to help your injured friend survive?

Episode 4 - THE NAVY YARD SHOOTING

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 10:00:00 GMT

This week Katherine and Sarah discuss the shooting at a U.S. military building in the Washington Navy Yard. It was the site of a terrible shooting by an employee on September 16th, 2013.

A 34 year old man drove into the building and went inside, armed with a sawed-off Remington shot.

He stepped out of the men's bathroom on the fourth floor and he just simply walked down the hallway and started hunting for people to shoot.

One of the many reasons that the shooter was able to roam freely hunting for over an hour was because the building had no address for first responders to find on a map.

Ask yourself, would you know how to direct emergency response units to you at your work?

Episode 3 - THE SHOOTING AT THE US HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 10:00:00 GMT

This episode Katherine and Sarah discuss the 2009 shooting in Washington, DC at the U S Holocaust Memorial Museum. It's a tough one in its own right.

Now, this one is a bit different because there is a single victim unlike the other cases that we've discussed, so why are we talking about this case in particular?

Because this type of shooting is every traveller's nightmare.

Washington, DC, is a massive tourist city and there are thousands and thousands of people there all year round visiting tourist attractions, and suddenly the sound of gunshots. With thousands upon thousands of potential victims in the museum, why was there ‘only’ one fatality?

Episode 2 - THE SAN YSIDRO MCDONALD’S MASSACRE

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 10:00:00 GMT

Today’s episode is a really sad tale and it's one that is often overlooked when we talk about these kinds of tragedies.

It's really a horrible shooting situation that began a few minutes before four o'clock on July 18th 1984, when a 41 year old man who was carrying three different weapons, entered a McDonald's restaurant in the San Ysidro district of San Diego, California. During the 77 minute rampage, he killed 21 people and he injured another 19 before the police sharp shooter managed to take him out.

And at the time, the massacre was considered the deadliest mass shooting by a single government in United States history. Would you know what to do?

And if you have a question get in touch on instagram.
