Mass murders through active shooter tactics

For this week’s discussion I will be expanding upon some of the tactics I believe terrorists will us in the future and some of the ways in which the U.S. will have to alter its strategy to counter such threats. As terrorists evolve their tactics, I believe one of the methods that they will increasingly use more and more into the future is that of mass murders through active shooter tactics (FEMA, 2011). For starters the reason that I refer to this tactic as mass murders through active shooter tactics is to separate this tactic from mass murders conducted by mentally ill individuals who carry out active shootings for an individual plan not connected to terrorism but rather based off a mentally sick and simple desire to hurt others. The main reason that I believe this to be a tactic used by terrorists moving forward is due to the simplicity of planning and the large response produced by fear and spotlighted by the media and political figures.For this week’s discussion I will be expanding upon some of the tactics I believe terrorists will us in the future and some of the ways in which the U.S. will have to alter its strategy to counter such threats.
