Local safety experts remind citizens to stay vigilant
Local safety experts offered advice after a pair of deadly mass shootings in the span of 24 hours.
Paul Fennewald, former special advisor to the Center for Education Safety, told ABC 17 News that citizens should always remember to report anything suspicious or out of the ordinary if they believe it could be a potential threat.
“If someone sees someone doing something that’s not normal, maybe someone that seems to be in preparation for some type of act of violence, they need to be able to tell somebody that’s in a position to be able to do something about it,” said Fennewald. “Every day, we are preventing acts of violence in this country and in our communities by citizens reporting things.”
