Stop the Killing offers insight into what each of us can do to end the active shooter crisis plaguing America. This book shares an insider look at what we’ve learned and failed to learn, about protecting our businesses, houses of worship, and schools. The book demystifies the language around active shooters, mass killings, threat assessment teams, and more.


I cannot tell you the number of times after the shootings that I was asked, ‘What are you going to do?’ and my response always is, ‘What are we going to do.’ This book provides the answer: we all need to work together.

Your book, Stop the Killing, How to End the Mass Shooting Crisis, I think, is going to really help change things not just for members of law enforcement, but I think those who establish public policy who need to really understand the way you do, in a much more sophisticated way, the patterns of what we’ve been up against and the way those patterns are evolving.
— Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House of Representatives 1995-1999, from Newt World’s Podcast
Katherine Schweit’s book is a gift. She is a clear and reasoned voice on a tragic issue that has been characterized by myth, misinformation, and fear. Her work is deeply researched. She presents practical truths designed to empower private citizens and public officials alike to prevent future violence. Stop the Killing provides real hope that we can act to save lives and to save families from the unspeakable anguish of losing a loved one to violent death at the hands of an active shooter.
