Democratic backed amendments. About the four procedural votes. Two of those are on background checks and by senator grassley of iowa. Bill is theurphys sweeping one, trying to get something bigger done. He has been a big proponent of this. What democrats call the gun show loophole. If you bike on gun from a seller that is not authorized, and they say that the terrorist groups have been telling people how to get weapons and they say this really means to be close to that with background checks from all gun purchases. Then you have the grassley amendment that is going to go at the same time. That one is about notifying the fbi or the department of justice. The other two that are coming up, senator feinsteins amendment, deal with those on the fbi watch list. There has been the term groundhog day used a couple of times. Because those two measures came up before. They came up after the San BernardinoCalifornia Shootings that left more than one dozen dead. There was an outrage on capitol hill. It only got 405i believe. The senator offered his amendment at that time. Actually stopnt terrorists from getting weapons. Still short of what they needed. These are new versions of amendments. There isnt a lot to indicate this may change enough. Saying the Justice Department backs the gun control provision. What problem does the administration find with the two heican measures . Actually might make it harder to do this legislation in the future. OutJustice Department came in part because she filed a new revised amendment that adds language in the Justice Department. Somebody tries to buy a gun and gets notified. Doing an Ongoing Investigation that they need to not blow that investigation up. Trying to add to keep a few more republicans on that side. These measures needed to advance. Is the likelihood that any of them will get the required 60 . We know senator murphy expressed he is optimistic about closing the terrorists loophole. He expects optimism but it doesnt look to have enough from the other side. One of the indications us that the republicans paired up each of those two democratic whichents with their own, is kind of a signal that republicans were paired were prepared to back the republican version. As we wrap about a possible plan from senator collins, what are the democrats plans if these measures fail . Areo far they have said we on passing these two measures, getting the measures passed on the spending bill. They have some things they can do after that. There are also a number of amendments that have been filed related to gun control. The Legal Affairs correspondent for cq roll call. Thank you for the update. Upcoming votes in the senate were topics on the sunday talk shows. Part of the discussion included california senator dianne feinstein, who is offering an amendment that has to do with the governments nofly list. Alabamaheard from senator jeff sessions. Here is some of what they had to say. As we look at life as it is today and the possibility of and be here in judiciary, we here in intelligence, it is investigation after investigation. Fact thatsider the over 500 arrests and convictions for providing Material Support or conspiring with one of these things has occurred, you know that these things are going on. And the only way we have of stopping them is intelligence, plus a kind of net that will pick up foreigners on the watchlist. 99. 9 are foreign. Less than half of 1 are americans. This is essentially the launch essentially the watchlist that covers the nofly list and others. , namesainly foreign given by foreign intelligence agencies. You have indications of people who might be involved in terrorism. Need to do the best we can to monitor those people so they dont become an active terrorist person. A lot of people may wrongly be on the list. There are probably a lot of people on that list who shouldnt be on it. That person has to have the opportunity to explain they shouldnt be on the list. That is what the difference is. Republicans have voted consistently to ban the vote for having a gun, but given the opportunity that they should be on the list. Play will see how those out when the considers those amendments tomorrow. They will require the approval of 60 senators to move forward. The vote is set for 5 30 eastern, which you can watch live on cspan two. Next he will take a look at what to do if caught in an active shooter situation. This was part of a judicial conference hosted by the Fourth Circuit court of appeals. It is 30 minutes. Could i get everybody to have a seat please, so we can get started . One of the unfortunate realities of life today is we have to worry about an active shooter. Judge henry hudson has prepared a program with us this morning to talk about that issue and what you should do if you were to find yourself in such a situation. Will turn it over to judge hudson. Judge hudson thank you. [no audio] [applause] our presentation today is about a very unpleasant topic. Your life may depend on it. The theme of our presentation is when you are confronted with an active shooter, your objective is going to be survival. There are some things were going to talk about that you should do, that may be unpleasant. In the world we live in today there is probably no security issue that is more important not only to you but your staff and family but developing and periodically practicing an active shooter strategy. Courthouses, law offices, even are highnd churches visibility symbolic targets. They think simply because they havent received any threats or havent done anything controversial, that they dont have to worry. Of mindset can lead to major problems because active shooter sometimes pick people and institutions strictly for the symbolism and the message it gives. What is an active shooter . Asdefine an active shooter an unstable or ideologically motivated individual who indiscriminately and randomly shoots people with the intent to kill them and themselves. They have a message they want to convey. Once an active shooter is able to penetrate the outer perimeter of your building or office, there is no warning. Active shooters do not have signs ofs signed or symptoms. Chaos is going to ensue. When chaos ensues we have found your employees, your staff are going to be as randomly picked off by the active shooter. Found the chance of survival and the chance of your staff having an orderly response yourrectly dependent upon initiative and your leadership in putting together an active shooter response. You a graphic example of how important an active shooter plan can be. At about 9 00 in the morning and individual by the name of jack stepped off the elevator on the fourth floor of the courthouse in two peter kansas. He was coming in that day to be sentenced for a largescale marijuana cultivation operation. As she approached the cso, the cso had no idea that half an hour earlier he had detonated a truck bomb in front of the Sheriffs Office and blew everyone out of the building, as well as injured a number of number of people. Shot and killed jean goldsberry. Pushed his way through and began walking down the hallway. He indiscriminately through pipe bombs along the hallway. Was deafening. He then moved into the Clerks Office and jumped over the counter. For the next several hours he , detonated 12hots pipe bombs. Off inh pipe bomb went his hand and killed him. Officers00 police three hours to secure the building before the chaos began to subside. I got there the next morning in my capacity as director of the marshal service. We went up and talked to the clerk first. I wanted to let them know how sorry i was for all the people injured during that it during that disaster. Walls were blown out. I did not have one person that had a scratch on them. Everybody has a designated location about where they can shield themselves or where they go to barricade themselves to make sure the active shooter had no contact with them. It was nothing short of a miracle. The Judicial Security Committee that every federal courthouse have an active shooter drill. I have spoken to a lot of judges who said they have a plan in place, but it is very important that you do so. Minute isspector in a going to walk into an active shooter plan. Is one other facet to keep in mind, and that is making sure to resources in addition putting those questions in the make surealso need to you have someone in your courthouse who knows how to operate a different girl later. It happens when these things occur, you are able to stabilize until rescue arrives. People tell me the defibrillator has the instructions written right on it. Who hasaverage person been trained not to use that is going to be reluctant to use that defibrillator. Count when a person has a cardiac arrest. Thirdly you want people trained in basic and advanced first aid and have the resources but attorney can on somebody when they are shot so they dont bleed to death before Emergency Responders arrive. You want a list so Everybody Knows how to contact them in the event of an emergency. Many of you say i dont want to even think about these situations. Many give you another bit of personal advice. Person exercises some leadership role in their office or in their courthouse or whatever institution they are involved in. Staff looks to you for the leadership in putting together a response strategy. I know many of you here have served in the military or served in Law Enforcement positions where unfortunately people have been severely injured or killed in the line of duty. I still have scars from it. When Something Like that occurs there is a great deal of sympathy, a lot of tears and a lot of hugging. But the question that is going is a few weeks later the Family Members are going to say, what could you have done to save my husband or my wife . You dont ever want to put yourself in a position. Make sure if a crisis occurs you take every step possible to try to make it a safe as you can for your staff and your family. Strategy ishooter not only for your courthouse, it is for your home as well. Remember, your life may depend on it. My good friend and i give these lectures all the time. This presentation we will entertain any questions you may have. Good morning everyone. Judge hudson and i have been working together quite a while, giving these presentations. I walked across the Training Center to receive my credentials. Active shooter. It was going to be direct towards judges and staff members. Ofause people work outside the courthouse, we decided we wanted to make more broad and more generic. You pick up the newspaper, turn on the tv, search the internet, chances are you are going to be hit with headlines talking about an active shooter. Many examples are here on the display today. Last one being a judge who was shot outside of her home in texas. What are we going to be able to do in order to protect ourselves. The active shooter is described as a person who is actively engaged in trying to kill or killing people with a firearm. Duration of the active Shooter Event is on average 12 minutes. Study was done by the fbi area fromering an 2000, 2013. The active Shooter Program over the years has developed and changed quite a bit. It used to be Law Enforcement would get the scene, they surround and contain the environment and try to eliminate the threat. Now the protocol is to get in as quick as you can, get in as fast as you cancel the attacker can neutralize it. Between 2000 and 2013 there were 160 active shooters. Year ande of 11. 4 per the first seven years of that, 6. 4 per year. And moving up swiftly to 16. 4. The personnt leaving, the person killing themselves, or usually some of both. 557 wounded. It used to be a mass murderer was typically male. A single shooter going out and doing all of the shooting. Of the incident, it will start off by shooting a Family Member or Family Members before taking it to the public. Ticks of the shooters were females. 64 of them committed suicide. At least five of the shooters remained at large when the study was concluded. Locations where newbies shootings happened. Current events, you would think it was in this area or in this area. A are mostly in spaces open to the public, those that have pedestrian walk in. Malls. Them occurred in that, the shooting at the theater in colorado, the person went into the premier shooting at midnight, a batman movie, what it up shooting quite people,ople, killed 12 injuring 68 others. Injuring nebraska, six. An example of an area not open to the public, a distributor in connecticut where an employee was being disciplined, was going to be let go, went back and killed all of the people at the warehouse that date. Educational institute. First, i thought the material in the higher learning, because was much greater. From the example here, there are twice as many that occurred in the three k12 prek through 12. An example in elementary school, sandy hook in connecticut. Single shooter, killed his mom, went to the school, then killed over 20 students there and then killed himself. Blacksburg, we talked about virginia tech. Single shooter. Dorm, killed two people, and then went to the Academic Building and started shooting. Killed himself just before the cops arrived. Government installations. We have nine military installations. Ft. Hood, texas, a member of the military took a gun to work and started shooting, killed 13, injured 32 others. Institute,aces gabrielle giffords, the shooting that took the life of one of our federal judges is an example of shooting in an open space. , with an worship example in South Carolina shows howis review vulnerable churches are. The number of instances in churches are equal to that in malls. The chance of being in active shooter institute is the same in a church or in the mall. Charlestonooting in that took the life of nine people in a church. Others health care. Where will you be when the shooting starts and what will you do when the shooting starts . Before the shooting starts, we want to do a little planning. Always be aware of your environment. Locate the nearest exit. Room, thereat this are quite a few doors all around you. There may not be a main exit. Look for the exit sign. Be where they are. It used to be the protocol was contain and we will bring swat in and neutralize the threat, but the studies showed the kill we weret way up because waiting for the police to get there 12 and a half minutes, 18 minutes to get there. The new response is, run, hide, fight. Need to getun, you out of there if you can. Roomu can get out of the and get to save it safety, do so. Leave your belongings behind. Theres not a single thing you have that is worth your life that you have to wait and get it before you get out of there. Help others if possible. Encourage them to get out. As i said before, the Police Response will be to try to get people out there as quick as they can. What you have to be aware of, you do not want to look like the threat. Keep your hands visible. Do not be carrying your cell phone or anything like that your hand if youre running. Follow the instructions of the police officer. Do exactly what he says. If he says get down on the floor, get down on the floor. Anddont be pointing screaming or anything like that. Follow instructions. , 911 when youre in a safe place. Once you get out of building and into a safe location, that is when you want to call. When you do call 911, give them as much information as possible. The result a lot of confusion in the u. S. Navy yard shooting as to where the shooter was. They could not find which building the shooter was and. They noticed people run doing running. They figure that had to be it. They got into the atrium area the sound of the shots were echoing through the room. They thought the shooter was upstairs. If you call 911, give them as much information as you can, where you were, where you heard the shooting. If you cant get out of the area, shelter in place. Find a place to hide. You want to be outside the shooter from vision, want to make sure you can keep yourself covered. Bere hiding place should one that is out of view, one hide from gunfire. You want to prevent them entering into your space. Use wedges to wedge the door shut. Can you put furniture in front of it . Does the door swing in or swing out. Swing in or swing out . If the shooter is not targeting youific plate specifically, we want to persuade them to go somewhere else. Hard in your target. Block the door. If the door does not have a lock, barricade the door. Silence your headphone. Movies seen the horror and everything where the person is hiding in the bad guy has gone away and what happens . The cell phone rings. Yes, youre going to want to go 911, but you want to make sure , your are in hiding mode cell phone is silent. Turn off the lights. Through a place recently and they have the automatic light, motion sensing light to rid out how to turn it you have tottons hit. Hide behind large items. If he is determined, if the attacker comes into your space, what are you going to do. It, resort, life depends on youre going to do anything to stuff is attacked. We saw this on the train in paris. A person with a gun. They started fighting. They knew they could not get off the train. Its a moving train. There are very few exits. So, they reacted. Where the fight was, they incapacitated him. They got the gun away, he pulled a knife, they fight for their life. Act as aggressively as possible. Ornot think one little smack shop will defuse it. It probably will not. Steep keep fighting. Throwing items. What are you going to use as a weapon . Look around. Is there something handy you could use to save your life . Improvised weapons. I asked someone the other day, what did you use as an improvised weapon . They picked up an ink pen. Youright, if that is all have got, use the ink pen. Theuld throw something, fire extinguisher is right. What can you use. Be creative. Dont give up. I spoke with a young lady a couple weeks ago, talking about this presentation. I said to run and hide, and she said i could never do that. I dont know how to fight. I said you can do it. Develop the mindset, you can survive. Dont give up. Its a matter of your life. Fight back. The guy has got a gun. Yes, if they have a gun, you still love a chance. Get out there and fight. You can win this fight. Scared you just little bit, the question of what do we
