On June 12, 2016 the STATISTICS COMPILED BY THE NYPD, OVER 40% OF ACTIVE SHOOTER INCIDENTS ANALYZED shooting at the Pulse nightclub in OCCURRED IN BUSINESS LOCATIONS, INCLUDING OFFICE BUILDINGS, OPEN COMMERCIAL LOCATIONS, AND WAREHOUSES. Orlando, Florida—which left 49 people dead—was not only a tragic terrorist attack, but also the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, surpassing the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 that left 33 people dead. Attacks like the Orlando shooting illustrate the importance of and need for constantly-refined definitions, procedures, systems, and training designed to diminish the risks from a diverse set of active shooters motivated by a broad range of ideologies. As such, the NYPD has developed mitigation recommendations, tailored to private security personnel, based on an analysis of past active shooter attacks and a careful review of previous studies. For the private security community, our analysis shows that business locations—including office buildings, malls, nightclubs, and restaurants—are among the most frequent sites targeted by active shooters, highlighting a clear and legitimate threat. The 2016 Edition of the New York City Police Department’s (“NYPD”) Active Shooter: Recommendations and Analysis for Risk Mitigation demonstrates that during the period studied, from 1966 to 2016, 308 active shooter incidents took place in the United States, resulting in at least 930 killed and 1200 wounded. The analysis section presents descriptive statistics of all the incidents between 1966 and 2016, with details on the number of casualties, the resolution of the incidents, and a breakdown of the locations of the incidents; the analysis also describes the characteristics of each attacker, including their age, gender, and relationship to the victim(s). The report incorporates an additional 78 incidents that occurred in the four-year period since the release of the 2012 Edition. The 2012 edition contained information and analysis of active shooter incidents from 1966 to 2012. The NYPD has performed statistical analysis to identify common characteristics among active shooter attacks. Data about the attacks and attackers was collected from previous scholarship, open source government reports, and media accounts. The NYPD did not use special-access government sources to compile the cases in the Compendium; all information is open-source and publicly available. As a result, the cases included in the data set may demonstrate a sampling bias. For attacks that occurred between 2000 and 2016, the Compendium is a nearly comprehensive account of active shooter incidents—to include 3 | Page those categorized as terrorist attacks—that attracted news coverage. For attacks that occurred prior to 2000, the Compendium may not be comprehensive because the attacks pre-date widespread internet news reporting. Definition of an ‘Active Shooter’ Incident Active shooter incidents are a specific type of emergency situation necessitating preparatory response protocols by both

  • April 11, 2021 Under Attack: Terrorism and International Trade in France
    April 11, 2021 Under Attack: Terrorism and International Trade in France, 2014-16* Volker Nitsch Isabelle Rabaud Technische Universität Darmstadt Université d’Orléans, LEO, Abstract Terrorist events typically vary along many dimensions, making it difficult to identify their economic effects. This paper analyzes the impact of terrorism on international trade by examining a series of three large-scale terrorist incidents in France over the period from January 2015 to July 2016. Using firm-level data at monthly frequency, we document an immediate and lasting decline in cross-border trade after a mass terrorist attack. According to our estimates, France’s trade in goods, which accounts for about 70 percent of the country’s trade in goods and services, is reduced by more than 6 billion euros in the first six months after an attack. The reduction in trade mainly takes place along the intensive margin, with particularly strong effects for partner countries with low border barriers to France, for firms with less frequent trade activities and for homogeneous products. A possible explanation for these patterns is an increase in trade costs due to stricter security measures.

  • Jeffrey Weise: Timeline
    Jeffrey Weise: Timeline Compiled by Peter Langman, Ph.D. I have not found a source that chronicles the history of Jeffrey and his family. In order to fill this gap, this document was compiled from a variety of sources to provide a general chronology of the family’s life. In many cases, exact dates of events are not known, so approximate years and months are indicated. There is a lack of agreement among the sources as to why Jeffrey was not attending school at the time of the attack. Multiple sources are listed with the discrepant testimonies provided. 8 August 1988 Jeffrey James Weise was born in Minneapolis to Joanne Elizabeth Weise and Daryl Allen Lussier, Jr. (parents never married). Mother lived in Minneapolis, father on Red Lake reser- vation. Jeffrey lived mostly with his father for first three years.1 November 1988 Mother gave Jeffrey to father to raise when he was 3 months old. 2 1991 Jeffrey lived with his father and father’s parents until he was three years old. Then mother took him to live with her in Twin Cities.3 June 1993 Mother booked into Ramsey County jail for driving while intoxicated.4 17 July 1993 Father married Roma Jean Ryan at Red Lake.5 Fall 1996 Jeffrey moved with mother to Shakopee, Minnesota, and entered third grade at Pearson Elementary School. Joanne Weise was living with Timothy Troy Desjarlait.6 Jeffrey attended Pearson until 1998.7 1996 Daphne Desjarlait born to Joanne Weise and Timothy Desjarlait.8 1997 Sebastian Desjarlait born to Joanne Weise and Timothy Desjarlait.9 21 July 1997 Jeffrey’s father killed himself by shooting himself in the chest during armed standoff with tribal police on Red Lake reservation.10 The standoff with police occurred at the father’s home and lasted for “days.”11 September 1997 Jeffrey started fourth grade in Shakopee, but that month the family moved to Chaska, Min- nesota.12 27 June 1998 Joanne Weise married Timothy Desjarlait on Red Lake reservation (reportedly had moved to reservation shortly after move to Chaska).13 Late September 1998 Jeffrey attended fifth grade at Bluff Creek Elementary School.
