Publisher's Synopsis
The Life You Save May Be Your Own.
Instinct - some might even call it common sense. It is a survival skill that is far more important than all the media hype or emergency manuals you will ever read about school shooters - a survival skill that lacking in many schools today. Stopping The School Shooter will help you sharpen those instincts to help you stay alive. This book is a life-saving action-plan that reads like a true crime story with the added benefit of providing the reader with timely prevention and response strategies for dealing with targeted school violence. As a police chief with more than 25 years in law enforcement and extensive research into school shooting issues, Ron Glidden wrote Stopping The School Shooter for students, teachers, parents, school administrators, and law enforcement officers to help them prevent and respond to the threat of targeted school violence. He describes numerous case histories of school shootings, not for dramatic effect, but to point out warning signs that were missed so we can prevent future incidents. He examines the underlying causes, the triggering events, and the deadly results of targeted school violence. The author has achieved his stated goal in this book by helping his readers stay safe, alert and alive.
