Victim Management in Active Shooter Events Ontology
Joana Monteiro · 2014
The number of Active Shooting Events per year have increased from 2000 to now (Blair, Martaindale, & Nichols, 2014). With the increased number these incidents the number of deaths of innocent victims also has increased. Post incident analysis reports suggest improvements in situational awareness could have reduced the number of deaths during the incident. The FBI, along with other US government agencies, defines an Active Shooter Event as an incident where “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area” (Blair & Schweit, 2014).
