Portrait of a School Shooter: A threat assessment perspective
Summary
Part one of this presentation will lead the learner through a school shooting event, but will include not just the events that led up to the shooting, but the events that led to better understanding the shooting. Data will be presented from interviews with the shooter himself over a two year period, his teachers, and his friends. Rarely has an educator been allowed access to a convicted school shooter to learn about how the school could improve its safety measures for the future. Part two will look at school violence in communities across American and attendees will see how supports for mental health and interventions differ across states and counties. Part three will allow the learners to walk away with a clearly outlined crisis intervention plan that can be implemented upon return to their home base. This plan will include what a crisis team in action looks like, who should serve, how the members should be trained, and what MOUs and community planning should take place as you begin this work.
