NSC 2016: Learning from Columbine
Don Moseman, training director at North Dakota Safety Council, told National Safety Congress attendees about how law enforcement’s handling of active shooter situations has changed since the Columbine High School shooting.
April 20, 1999 – Two students walked into Columbine High School and began the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
Thirteen students were murdered, 21 were wounded. In addition, 99 explosive devices were placed around the school building and facilities, but only three detonated.
“The intent was to kill every student, teacher and first responder,” said Don Moseman, training director at the North Dakota Safety Council.
