Is your congregation prepared for an active killer?

By Ron Borsch. Dec 29, 2025

Rapid mass murder (RMM) at schools, churches, and workplaces is relatively new, occurring in the past and present century. The tracking history of RMM by active killers, however, reveals it is a growing problem in churches and schools.

It is the height of naivete to believe that we will be protected by laws, rules, sanctuaries, or off-site police, as it denies reality. Generally, only the law-abiding obey laws or rules. However, there is no such compulsion for the unpredictable evildoers or wicked to misuse their own free will.

The unthinkable?

Needed are persons or staff who are responsible for exercising due diligence for the realistic safety, security, and protection of worshippers. By now, heads of houses of worship should know of a serious and deadly threat to their congregations. Just being aware is not enough. When — not if — the wicked come with intent to assassinate worshippers, what tactically effective countermeasures are in place?

My background is in law enforcement and LE training, including police response to RMM.
