CHURCHES AND HOUSES OF WORSHIP
From 2006 to 2016, there were more shootings in churches and houses of worship than in the previous 25 years combined. In 2017, we as a nation witnessed the deadliest church shooting in modern US history when a shooter walked into a small Baptist church in Texas and opened fire. 26 people died, and 20 more were injured. The tragic reality is that even a house of worship is not immune to acts of violence. We live in a time when preparedness is no longer optional. It is critical.
