While a spate of school shootings across the country have grabbed their share of media attention, almost half of all shootings take place at work.
And Beverly police Lt. Richard Russo said the same advice officers give students and school staff in an active shooter situation — how to run, hide, and fight — applies to employees at the workplace.
Russo and Beverly police Officer Brian Long spoke about ways people can keep safe in the workplace and in their day-to-day activities Wednesday morning in a free active shooter defense program at The Cabot. About 50 business people and residents attended the talk, which was sponsored by Connolly Brothers, Beverly construction firm, and The Cabot. |

"It makes me feel more empowered not to be a victim," Gordon said of what she learned from the presentation.
That's nice, dear. Get a gun, learn to use it, and carry it.
Forget this fish-in-a-barrel nonsense. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
