Episode Update: NEW YEAR'S DAY TERROR: BOURBON STREET ATTACK & PIPE BOMB THREAT Since recording this episode, the FBI has provided new details about the New Orleans attack on Bourbon Street. Initially, there were concerns about multiple individuals being involved, particularly those seen near the explosive devices concealed in coolers. However, investigators have now confirmed they are confident this was the act of a single offender. The people initially thought to be co-conspirators were, in fact, curious onlookers who happened to be near the devices. This clarification significantly changes the scope of the investigation but reinforces the importance of staying vigilant and informed about threats to public safety. We'll continue to bring you updates as more information becomes available.  Episode Description This bonus episode of Stop the Killing examines the tragic events of New Year's Day 2025, when a man drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 15 people and injuring dozens more. The discovery of pipe bombs and an ISIS flag led authorities to classify the attack as an act of terrorism. Katherine Schweit provides an overview of the attack, the ongoing investigation, and the broader implications for public safety. This episode includes Katherine's radio interview, where she answers questions about this incident and its connection to a similar event in Las Vegas.

This week, a Wisconsin school shooting provided a potential warning about what might come from the murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO. That's not because the two shootings are directly connected but rather because the Wisconsin attack was influenced by the Columbine attack. And the CEO killing has many of the same hallmarks that could lead to it influencing future attacks as well. To examine how likely that is, we have former FBI agent and active shooter research pioneer Katherine Schweit back on the show. Schweit was part of the team that began tracking active shooter events in the wake of the Sandy Hook attack. She helped create the framework for responding to them for both law enforcement and civilians. She agreed there is reason to think the CEO killing could have a similar effect to that of Columbine. She said it's hard to know what might happen with future assassination attempts, but the messaging and viral nature of the CEO killing make copycats more likely. But she said she has seen progress in combatting active shooter incidents, with the number falling the past two years. And the same tactics could be used to reduce copycats as well. Special Guest: Katherine Schweit.

Insights from a comprehensive report on the shooter, who was a 10th grader at the time, reveal interviews with teachers and classmates that paint a picture of him as quiet, engaged in some classes but struggling academically, especially post the COVID-19 lockdown. Distinctly, he showed a significant academic decline starting early November, coinciding with his complete halt in submitting assignments for several classes. Strikingly, journal entries from the shooter express his frustration, depression, and the desire to be noticed by adults as potentially dangerous. Despite the shooter's troubling signs, including an interest in guns and explicit mentions of shooting plans in his journal, the show discusses systemic failures at multiple levels that failed to preemptively address the shooter's deteriorating mental health and intent. The conversation also explores the complicated issue of privacy and parental oversight in the context of recognizing warning signs in children. 00:00 Introduction to Part Two: Unveiling the Oxford School Shooter 01:45 Diving into the Shooter's Academic and Social Background 01:58 Analyzing the Shooter's Behavior and Interactions 16:29 The Significance of the Shooter's Journal Entries 18:54 Parental Guidance and the Importance of Monitoring 28:42 Concluding Thoughts on Preventative Measures and Reflection WANT THE VIDEOS HEAD TO YOUTUBE @sarahferrismedia  And if you are wanting AD FREE | EARLY ACCESS | BONUS CONTENT  HIT THE BANNER ON APPLE PODCASTS TO SUBSCRIBE OR SUPPORT US: Patreon.com/stopthekilling  Send us your Listener Questions for our Tuesday episodes  Message us on instagram :  @conmunitypodcast @stopthekillingstories And for all things Katherine Schweit including where you can purchase her book STOP THE KILLING: How to end the mass shooting crisis head to: www.katherineschweit.com SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS, SUPPORTS THE PODCAST CRIMECON UK TICKETS HERE CRIMECON US TICKETS HERE DON'T forget to use DISCOUNT CODE “FERRIS”  RESOURCES Stop the Bleed training FBI  RUN, HIDE, FIGHT This is a Sarah Ferris Media on the Killer Podcasts Network Check out more Sarah Ferris Media productions: CONNING THE CON KLOOGHLESS - THE LONG CON GUILTY GREENIE THE BRAVERY ACADEMY Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Katherine Schweit, a former FBI agent and one of the most influential gun violence advocates in the country.  She conducted the first mass shooter study while at the FBI, is the founder and co-host of the Stop the Killing Podcast, and is the author of two really important books—“Stop the Killing” and “How to Talk About Guns With Anyone.”  And she's just getting started.  With a Ted Talk coming soon and a forthcoming book aimed at helping parents navigate this difficult-to-discuss issue, Katherine is determined to make a difference.  I walked away from this discussion feeling not only more knowledgeable about the issue but also more optimistic that this is something we can actually solve.  I wanted to have Katherine on the show to put a big spotlight on all the important work she's doing and to get her take on what practical steps we might take to start solving this frightening, intractable crisis.  As a father of two young boys, I've thought way more about gun violence than I care to admit.  My heart shatters every time one of these incidents occurs and I find myself increasingly angry at our collective inaction on the issue.  This is a policy area where we just have to do something.  Please tune in to this critically important episode to learn:Why it's so important to really understand the facts when discussing the gun violence problem in AmericaWhy, in a country like America where there are 400M guns in circulation and a long history of Constitutionally protected gun ownership, it's better to focus on other solutionsHow a profound lack of funding in law enforcement and education is making the crisis worseHow investments in things like mental health and anonymous reporting systems can make a big impact in preventing mass violenceWhat the “run, hide, fight” framework is and why you should care about it& Much, much moreStay tuned to the end to learn why Katherine believes it's so important for you to speak up when you observe any disturbing behavior (in almost every case, shooters make mistakes and reveal their plans) and to learn what you should do to prepare yourself and your family for the potential of mass violence.  As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode.  Thanks for tuning in!      Love this episode?

THE UVALDE SHOOTING : A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS In this podcast, Katherine analyzes the extensive report from the Department of Justice on the Uvalde school shooting incident in Texas, released a few weeks after the incident. She breaks down the facts, failures, and the lack of proper response failing to neutralize the active shooter, resulting in 19 children and 2 adults killed, over an hour response time, and a failure in leadership and protocol. Katherine also discusses the importance of active shooter training being crucial for law enforcement and stresses the need for coordinating across multiple agencies in times of crisis.

We discuss the comprehensive planning involved, involving both a car bomb near the executive government quarters that killed 8 people and injured 209 in Oslo, followed by an active shooting on a youth camp on an island nearby that resulted in the killing of 69 people, mostly teenagers. The perpetrator, motivated by extremist right-wing beliefs, was able to execute his plan with chilling precision due to extensive pre-meditation and deceptive tactics.

FROM MASS SHOOTING TO MASS DECEPTION  The Case of Alex Jones and the Sandy Hook Families The podcast episode delves into the continuation of the legal battle between the Sandy Hook families and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who spread false theories that the horrific Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. Despite being sued and ordered to pay a massive $1.5 billion judgment by the court, Jones has avoided this payment using bankruptcy claims and continues to generate significant wealth through his media company. The Sandy Hook families have since reduced their demand to $85 million, but Jones still refuses to pay, all while continuing to earn substantially from his conspiracy theory-based venture. The episode explores the manipulation and harm caused by Jones' actions and the distressing reality of these families who have been relentlessly harassed and lied about for a decade.
