Active Shooter: America Under Fire

I expected this to be a peverse account of the incidents covered and to be honest, that's exactly why I chose to start watching it. Instead, I feel like I've met the most amazing people who were directly involved. They all deserve a really big hug or a solid handshake or a genuine salute. Needless to say, their stories are horrific and gut-wrenching, but also heart-warming and inspirational. Not what I was expecting!

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.

This series uses a combination of authentic video feeds, news media, official public safety media (audio, video), role-playing, and interviews with involved personnel (victims, families, public safety). It is gut-wrenching and some scenes are not suitable for young children.

As a member of Public Safety, I feel it is important to understand what happened in order to deal with possible future incidents.

One never knows when the next one will occur. Be alert, be aware.

The producers aren't afraid to tackle the tough calls. Sadly, there are enough of these events to keep this series going for a while. Remember, active shooter incidents are not a new to our society.

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.

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.
