The Active Shooter That Wasn’t

On a sleepy Saturday morning in 2008, the actions taken in a span of 18 minutes were the difference between tragedy and just another sunny day in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Fortunately for the people at a mid-sized hospital there on 12 April, it ended up being just another sunny day.

But it wasn’t entirely fortune. When Michael J. Barrett entered the hospital through an employee entrance carrying a concealed weapon, it wasn’t fortune that led a cafeteria worker to notice something unusual, approach the man, confirm her suspicions that this was indeed unusual, and go straight to security to report it. That was security awareness training.
