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.

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 is one of the best series I've seen in a while, and will continue to watch weekly. I honestly have not felt so much emotion and even my Marine best friend who's as tough as they come couldn't hold it back and had the tears flowing. I love the way it shows how people came together in such horrible situations and how it brings out the true American spirit when in crisis. We need more shows like this on TV. I believe there is a hero in all of us.

Who knows, maybe this series will make a mass murderer think before acting on racism, or radicalization, or mental illness. I sure hope so. Highly recommended.

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.
