Every day SWAT teams are being called to dangerous scenarios in which they are trained to handle to keep everyone involved in the scenario safe, including the offender.

A man originally from Ohio committed the fourth-deadliest shooting massacre by a single perpetrator in United States history, killing twenty-one and wounding nineteen others.
