Burleson Man Who Idolized Mass Shooters Charged With Possessing Homemade Bomb: Feds

A Burleson man who was being monitored by the FBI after allegedly posting about white supremacy and his fascination with high-profile mass shootings is facing prison time after investigators found materials for making a homemade bomb inside his home last month, prosecutors say.

Analyst Comment:

Many attackers idolize mass shooters. Posting or talking about this admiration is a reliable indicator of a threat and needs to be reported to authorities.  It is generally, a good a practice not name mass shooters or use glorifying descriptions like “lone wolf”.  This only encourages admirers.

Israeli paramedic delivers active shooter training at Calif. synagogue

An Israeli paramedic provided hands-on training at the Chabad of Poway. The training included information on how to save ones-self and others after a mass shooting or other type of attack. The hands-on training is part of the First 7 Minutes seminar training which has also been provided at African American communities, churches, and interfaith organizations. In 2019, the Chabad of Poway was the scene of an attack by a gunman.

Analyst Comment:

It is important for Faith-Based Organizations to provide members and employees with training to save themselves and others, because help may be delayed due to the ongoing attack. FEMA’s You Are the Help Until Help Arrives (fema.gov) provides useful resources.
