In an active shooter scenario, the time it takes for law enforcement to respond can vary significantly based on factors such as the location, proximity of officers, and the shooter's actions. While law enforcement is trained to respond quickly, the chaotic nature of such events often means that every second counts. It's crucial for individuals to be aware of emergency response protocols and to take immediate action to protect themselves while waiting for help to arrive. Ultimately, preparedness and awareness can make a critical difference in these high-stress situations.
The most effective means of stopping the shooter, and mitigating harm to victims is an early, aggressive armed response. In everyday terms, someone needs to go shoot the shooter- NOW. Past responses focused on contain-and-wait, which is useless with an active shooter.
