Reviewing FBI crime statistics, Jacob Paulsen of ConcealedCarry.com recently found that “in 94 percent of cases, armed citizens successfully intervene during what the bureau calls ‘active shooter events.’” The FBI defines an “active shooter event” as “one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.” Paulsen based his research on FBI records from 2000 through 2017, but he does note an important caveat: “The FBI does not include domestic shooting or gang-related shootings in its reports.” He also adds, “For the FBI to define an incident as an Active Shooter incident both law enforcement personnel and citizens have to have the potential to affect the outcome of the event based upon their responses to the situation.”
