Active Shooter Preparedness | Pathways to Violence: Three Types of School Shooters

Date: Thursday August 28, 2025 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

This insightful webinar explores the psychological roots of school violence by presenting a typology that classifies school shooters into three distinct categories: psychopathic, psychotic, and traumatized. Through an in-depth look at each type, the session sheds light on the unique behavioral patterns, warning signs, and risk factors associated with each profile.

Real-world case studies illustrate how these types manifest in actual incidents, offering a clearer understanding of the complex and often overlapping motivations behind school shootings. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge to help identify potential threats and develop more informed prevention strategies.
