The Warning Signs of a Potential School Shooter Parents Can’t Ignore - Katherine Schweit

Katherine Schweit is the architect of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program. She is the author of Women Who Talk to the Dead: The True Story of 200 Forgotten Murder Victims and the Relentless Pursuit of Justice by an FBI Agent and a Detroit Police Detective. The book tells the story of the exhumation of more than 200 cold case murder victims. Katherine is also the author of the upcoming book, Smart Parents, Safe Schools. She shares her in-depth research and key insights into the signs that may arise before a mass shooting, and how parents can be wise and alert for those red flags. Her best advice? “Believe what you hear,” she says. Kids telegraph what is going on around them. 92 percent of the time, when a shooting has occurred, someone was told before it happened.
