Stop the Killing: How to End the Mass Shooting Crisis is written by the nation’s leading mass shooting expert and founder of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program, Katherine Schweit. The book shares an insider look at what we’ve learned and failed to learn about protecting our places of commerce, houses of worship, businesses, and schools while demystifying the language around active shooters, mass killings, threat assessment teams, and more.

Filled with knowledge on the current state of mass shootings in America, you will learn the definitions, statistics, and ultimately, how to be a part of the solution.

Katherine includes sober advice gathered from those who have survived and responded to shootings at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Aurora theater, Los Angeles International Airport, and more.

For the 2023 2nd Edition, she adds a preface exploring the 2021 Oxford High School shooting in Michigan, including the groundbreaking use of a domestic terrorism charge filed against the shooter and involuntary manslaughter charges filed against the shooter’s parents.

Read this book to replace your fear with knowledge, and learn what actions you can take to keep you and your family safe.

“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.”
— Frank DeAngelis, Columbine H.S. Principal, 1996-2014

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."

    Kathryn M. Turman, Assistant Director, FBI Victim Services Division, Ret.
