Active Shooter: America Under Fire

This is a very personal, in-depth dive into what happens during an Active Shooter situation. It forces you to think about what you would do in a similar situation.

Will there be a 2nd season? Unfortunately, there's enough material. I would love to see a what goes into making a documentary like this.

Emotional & anxiety ridden doc series on unnecessary hate, violence, and mental illness. There's still hope for humanity if this somehow prevents even one further incident.

I put off viewing this thinking I knew enough already about the subject matter and would not learn anything new.

I was so wrong.

The episodes goes beyond the basics of the shootings by explaining how the first responders had to quickly adapt to unique situations plus also show what the families and the community also went thru.

There are also plenty of interviews from a number of people involved providing additional details not previously known.

Real witness accounts of some of the most horrific acts of gun violence our western world has seen in our life times. It is absolutely despicable and cowardly to see others perceive these first hand accounts to be self serving cherry picked malevolent and agenda driven. The only agenda displayed in this series is that of truth and the heart ache first responders and victims experienced in these acts of violence. The real terrorists are those who abide and allow these acts of gun violence to continue. Those who watch this show, and submit reviews of spite, have you no shame, that it is your will alone that allows these mass murders to continue in this modern day and age.

This series uses a combination of authentic video feeds, news media, official public safety media (audio, video), role-playing, and interviews with involved personnel (victims, families, public safety). It is gut-wrenching and some scenes are not suitable for young children.

As a member of Public Safety, I feel it is important to understand what happened in order to deal with possible future incidents.

One never knows when the next one will occur. Be alert, be aware.

The producers aren't afraid to tackle the tough calls. Sadly, there are enough of these events to keep this series going for a while. Remember, active shooter incidents are not a new to our society.
