The FBI’s latest Active Shooter Report shows a 50% drop in incidents, but is it a true trend? Former FBI executive Katherine Schweit analyzes the data and what it means for law enforcement and community preparedness.

FBI researchers found a decrease from 61 incidents in 2022, to 48 this past year. That's a 21% decrease in two years. The numbers are still higher than in the past decade, but they are moving in the right direction. I attribute that to stronger threat assessment teams, social awareness about warning signs, and better-prepared police and civilians.
