Armed with a weapon similar to an AK-47, a gunman burst into a planned parenthood facility. Three people (including a police officer) were killed. 9 others (including 5 officers) were injured during the standoff between the police and the gunman. At around 5 p.m. local time, the gunman walked out of the facility and surrendered himself to police.
The first gunshots were reported at around 11:38 am. He first began shooting in the parking lot then proceeded to enter the facility and continue shooting at people. Authorities were soon able to tap into the facility's security system and monitor the movements of the gunman. Sketched of the building layout were passed along to teams inside. As the gunman moved to areas of the facility, the team would rescue civilians in other areas. The motive for the shooting has not been released.
The following is a mugshot of the gunman:

What would you do if your mom was at this facility while you were in school?
Why do you think the shooter did this?
How would you react as a staff member?

Good!
well i would hope that she was okay and i cant really do nothing to help unless i want to put myself in danger, the shooter is probley having a really bad day haha but some mental issues, as a staff member i would get down to protect myself and try to stay alive
I feel like that would be chill let him shoot it and be sketchy
I would really hope that my mom wouldn't ever be in one of these facilities, but I would probably be very scared and would worry.
My mom wouldent be in one of those facillitys so I wouldent do anything.
I think that he hates plant parent hood and he wants it to stop so he did that.
I wouldent be a staff member so I wouldent have to worrie about it.
well if I was at school I guess I probably wouldn't know but if I did know I would just start praying. I think he probably just strongly disagreed with planned parent hood and was sick of what has been happening. I would probably try to get a few people together and charge him from different angles. I would definitely try to stop him though.
I feel the same way. But, I think that the good folks in the office would call you out of class and tell you about it and probably let you out of school.
I would be freaking out. There has to be something wrong with him in the head for him to think that was okay to do that. I would definitely try my hardest to keep everyone and myself safe and alive.
I think everyone would be pretty scared! I hope everyone would be like you and help others.
I would freak out if my mom was there. As a civilian there not much I could do outside. I bet the shooter has some sort of mental illness. If I was a staff member I would try to hide everyone possible and make sure they were as safe as they could be for the time being.
