Conclusion

The FBI’s “Active Shooter Incidents in the United States|2025” report provides multifaceted data surrounding active shooter incidents to inform and assist law enforcement, security professionals, and the public to prepare for, mitigate, and respond to these attacks.

Stakeholders may leverage this data to improve tactical response, enhance community preparedness, and strengthen information sharing.

Effective collaboration between first responders, policymakers, and the public is crucial in reducing the frequency and impact of active shooter incidents.

Federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus law enforcement have access to active shooter trainings through partnerships with the FBI’s Office of Law Enforcement Engagement, FBI field offices, and the ALERRT Center at Texas State University.

By incorporating insights collected from years of active shooter research, the FBI provides training to civilians through its ASAPP program, equipping participants with essential knowledge and skills to survive an active shooter attack by employing the “run, hide, fight” strategy.

Partnership is central to the FBI’s mission of protecting the American people. You can help prevent future attacks by reporting concerning behavior to appropriate authorities.
