I’m Katherine Schweit, an attorney, security consultant, and retired FBI special agent. I was tagged by the FBI to create their Active Shooter program after the terrible tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since then, I’ve devoted my energy to helping prevent more tragedies. My mission is to teach people their role in ending gun violence in their community. You can make a difference. Parents, educators, community leaders, policymakers, and security professionals can all help stop the killing. It starts with knowledge. You are part of the solution.
