Residential
Do you know how to keep someone alive until first responders arrive? Shootings, stabbings, and other violent attacks happen in homes: open parties, family gatherings, and home invasions. Help is not immediate. The delay starts with the call. Medics often stage nearby until law enforcement says the scene is safe. A busy system can turn a 10-minute response into 30 minutes or more if the closest ambulance is already committed.
From 2000 through 2022, the FBI designated 23 active shooter incidents in residences. Through 2018, incidents in that category killed 40 people and wounded 37. These are active shooter incidents, not only cases with three or more killed.
A gun in the house is not the same as a gun in hand. In many homes the firearm is stored away from the room where the attack starts. The gap is the minutes before police and medics come inside.
Bystander Active Shooter Education (B.A.S.E.) is built for families. It teaches what to do in a bad situation at home, and how to control bleeding until first responders take over.
