Rescue in Color

In the aftermath of the heartbreaking tragedy at Abundant Life Christian School, our hearts ache for the students, educators, and families whose lives have been changed forever. Every child deserves a secure, nurturing environment where they can learn and grow free from fear. While words feel inadequate, we remain committed to both honoring these lives lost and working tirelessly to advocate for the safety and well-being of all students. Together, let us hold this community up, support them in their healing, and continue striving for measures that protect our kids.

Meg Soultz and I recently presented a keynote presentation on the work we do at Rescue in Color, aimed at helping schools implement bleeding control programs in K-12 setting. We had such a great time at the Northeast School Safety Summit in Massachusetts! Having the trust of Michele Gay and her team at Safe and Sound Schools means everything to us and we’re so grateful to be able to do this work to help make schools safer all around the country!

Police are heard clearing the building and told EMS to wait. The recordings captured how police couldn’t open locked doors inside the school and while they waited for a key it took more than 30 minutes to check the building. “When you have victims that have been shot with a high-powered rifle, they need EMS treatment immediately and it's situations like CVPA, and why we need to have all of the details of this incident be public and be transparent,” said David Riedman, a researcher who’s spent years studying school shootings for the K-12 School Shooting Database. Riedman reviewed the recordings uncovered by First Alert 4 Investigates and said he believes they reveal lessons. “In this case, it shows that there's a procedural failure for these victims if they're waiting 20 minutes inside when the shooter is already dead,” Riedman said. “For some reason, policies have been built at schools, that even though we know somebody is dying, even though the police radio says we've got a victim here, they're really not doing well, you have EMS resources standing outside. We really need to reassess the level of risk versus the reward.”
