Active Shooter: America Under Fire

Mass shootings are no longer a surprising occurrence to Americans. In fact, we've essentially let them become a part of what to expect in American culture. We have become so desensitized that these events are barely able to register as significant to us unless they break records in terms of casualties.

This show allows viewers to gain insight from the surving victims, witnesses, and law enforcement involved. It helps provide the essential empathy that we need to have for one another if we are to seriously address and alleviate the amount of senseless violence that we exact on one another.

The production quality is excellent. The content involves interviews along with actual footage (no dramatizations). There is no narration, although significant captions are periodically shown onscreen in between segments.

My cousin was gunned down and killed in August '18. This show makes you feel exactly the way our family feels as though you're there and mourning the victims. It's the realest I've ever seen a documentary portray what it's like to experience gun violence firsthand.

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.

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.

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.
