Table 1: Number of Incidents by Location Location Type Number of Incidents Percentage School 68 24% Office Building 31 11% Open Commercial 67 24% Factory/Warehouse 33 12% Other 80 29% Total 279* 100% * The 230 cases in the active shooter data set occurred at 279 locations because several attacks involved more than one location. The increase in incidents at “other” locations since the 2010 Edition is primarily due to the shootings in Wixom, Michigan, which occurred in at least 24 locations along a highway. Weapons The <strong>NYPD</strong>’s analysis demonstrates that 36% of active shooter attacks in the active shooter data set involved more than one weapon. This finding is unchanged from the 2010 Edition of this report. In some instances, one of the weapons was a close combat weapon, such as a knife. In one case, a single attacker carried seven weapons, including a rifle, two shotguns, and four handguns. In several cases, the attackers used firearms that they had stolen from relatives or friends. This pattern was most apparent in school-related shootings where attackers stole weapons from parents. Reporting on weapons involved in active shooter attacks is often inconsistent and inaccurate. For some attacks, news reports state the exact make and model of the firearm involved; for other attacks, reports do not include specific information on weapons. Moreover, reports often refer to semi-automatic rifles as “machine guns” or “assault weapons”; neither term is particularly descriptive, and often times both terms are inaccurate. Additionally, in some cases, the make and model of a weapon is not enough information to fully decipher its capabilities, since aftermarket kits are available to convert certain firearms from semi-automatic to fully-automatic. Attack Resolution The <strong>NYPD</strong> organized attack resolutions in the active shooter data set into four categories: applied force, no applied force, suicide or attempted suicide, and attacker fled. Table 2 shows that the vast majority of attacks in the active shooter data set ended violently, either by force applied by law enforcement, private security, bystanders, or the attackers themselves. Only 16% ended without applied force, such as by a negotiated surrender. In the 2010 Edition of this report, the corresponding fraction was 14%; this change is not statistically significant. 8
