Educators

 

 

From 2000 through 2022, the FBI designated 68 active shooter incidents in educational settings, killing 206 people and wounding 279. About 50 were in pre-K–12 schools and 18 were at colleges and universities. These are active shooter incidents, not mass killings.

​

Educators are responsible for the children in their care. CPR and basic first aid still matter. They are not enough for an active shooter or other mass-casualty event on campus. Bystander Active Shooter Education (B.A.S.E.) trains staff to act in the first minutes and give lifesaving care until first responders arrive. The course is built for people of every age and background, and it is kept simple so the skills stay with you.

​

B.A.S.E. for Educators covers FBI incident patterns, what to do when an attack starts — beyond run, hide, or fight — basic anatomy and first aid, and hands-on skills. The material is tied to the school or campus where you work, so the training matches the environment you are actually in.
