Moving to Part III re Warning Behaviors, Prevention, and Legislation: In many instances, warning signs precede the shooting incident. What is NOT TRUE of warning signs?
 
More than half of school mass shootings are leaked, most commonly through various peer-to-peer networks, in person or online.
The shooter is experiencing a personal crisis prior to the planned or completed mass shooting.
School mass shooting plans are rarely leaked in advance.
The shooter may travel to potential locations.
There is fascination with firearms other than hunting or sporting.
 
2)

True False
 
3)
Based on research, reporting leaks to authorities is most likely the best opportunity for people to intervene against and prevent public mass shooting plans.
 
True False
 
4)
Which of the following is true, based on research?
 
Younger individuals who plan mass shootings are more likely to leak plans to peers, girlfriends, or acquaintances.
95% of persons who commit mass shootings in the workplace are more likely to leak the plans to someone outside their place of work
Both of the above
Neither of the above
 
5)
Leaked plans are typically specific and detailed.
 
True False
 
6)
In Prevention — what activity can have a harmful impact on our attempt to prevent mass public shootings in schools?
 
Threat Assessment and identification of individuals in crisis
Providing help and support to troubled individuals
Including School Resource Officers (SRO) in the school milieu
Lockdown drills
Media coverage
 
7)
Effective Threat Assessment, as a prevention approach, does NOT include which activity?
 
Finding and helping students who pose a risk
Referring a student to mental health resources, involving law enforcement, or both.
Profiling students who may pose threats, with zero tolerance such as suspension and expulsion
 
8)
When School Resource Officers (SROs - armed police regularly assigned to school campuses) are present, the focus should be on building trust and communication with students, encouraging reporting of leaked plans to law enforcement.
 
True False
 
9)
Firearms Legislation: National Institute of Justice research tells us that
 
state level BANS on HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES are associated with reduced victimization (deaths and injuries).
state level BANS on HIGH-CAPACITY MAGAZINES may be a more precise target for legislative changes than banning assault weapons.
fewer mass shootings take place in states with gun licensing requirements
All of the above
None of the above
 
10)
Moving on to PART IV, RECOMMENDATIONS: A common theme in the research on mass shootings is the need for greater emphasis on reporting mass shooting threats, whether they initially leak verbally or via electronic media.
 
True False
 
11)
Leaked mass shooting plans are only helpful when the recipient of the leak makes a report to authorities. Therefore, workplaces, schools, law enforcement, and public health systems need to work in partnership to
 
emphasize the importance of reporting leaked plans,
establish anonymous reporting systems,
help potential leak recipients build trust with authority figures
All of the above

To reduce the severity of public mass shootings (number of people killed and injured), what firearms legislation would be most effective based on research and firearms capability?
 
Banning all assault weapons
Restricting the magazine capacity on assault weapons and other firearms.
