The collaborative is an Amplify Utah project with support from PBS Utah.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michigan State University made national news in February 2023 when a gunman killed three students and injured five others. Then, in December, another gunman killed three faculty members at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two cases resulted in the first time that more than one mass shooting \u2013 in which at least three people were killed \u2013 took place at a U.S. college campus in a single year, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestcolleges.com\/research\/college-shootings-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from independent groups. They accounted for two of the last nine college shootings since 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because no public government database tracks shootings at colleges, and because most databases define mass shootings as those that kill at least four (which excludes cases like Morgan State University in October 2023, which saw five injuries), the actual number of mass shootings at colleges is inexact. Nonetheless, these incidents come amid a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunviolencearchive.org\/past-tolls\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dramatic spike<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the number of mass shootings during the last decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid, deny and defend<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following last year’s school shootings, security teams at Utah’s leading higher education institutions have doubled down on their active shooter protocols in the hopes of preventing a domestic mass shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt Lake Community College, the state\u2019s largest two-year college, puts forth three words to its employees and students in the case of a violent intruder: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/video-repository\/run-hide-fight-092120.mp4\/view\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">run, hide or fight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These are the same words UNLV posted to its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/unlv\/status\/1732490058471719307\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">X<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> account when it confirmed an active shooter in December.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advice asks one to exit the area if possible and, if not, to hide instead, with fighting as a last resort. The University of Utah and Utah State University also advise their communities to follow this protocol in the case of a violent intruder. Weber State University uses different, albeit similar, language: avoid, deny and defend. Each school has produced a video that demonstrates these protocols.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shane Crabtree, associate vice president of public safety at SLCC, said his office runs a shooter simulation twice a year alongside fire and law agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe take advantage of the spring and winter breaks when there aren\u2019t classes and there’s nobody around,\u201d Crabtree said. \u201cWe run through different scenarios to be trained on a violent intruder. We also bring in a SWAT team to evaluate us [annually].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, WSU police Capt. Mike Davies said campus safety officers train more than once a year on their active shooter response, teaming up with surrounding law and fire agencies as well as local hospitals for trial-run exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe all train together because we would all respond together,\u201d Davies said. \u201cThese efforts increase all of our abilities to do so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Make a plan<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WSU offers and encourages its employees and students to take a four-hour training program called CRASE, or Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events. The program, part of the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training model, provides strategies, guidance and a \u201cproven plan for surviving an active shooter event,\u201d according to the Texas-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alerrt.org\/course_types\/CRASE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ALERRT Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to safety information posted on the websites of SLCC, Weber, USU and the U, each school employs opt-in emergency alert systems that notify employees and students in the case of an active shooter or other potentially dangerous scenarios. The alert systems contact users via text and email and, except for SLCC, also offer a companion mobile app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As stated on their housing policy websites, WSU and the U allow students living on campus to request a roommate who does not have a concealed firearm. Additionally, these two schools, as well as SLCC and USU, stated on their websites that they have designated hearing rooms that prohibit the possession of firearms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows for a secure area where disputes can be heard without the fear of a violent <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">escalation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are safes and\/or lock boxes outside each of these locations where individuals must secure their firearms,\u201d Amanda DeRito, associate vice president for strategic communications at USU, said in describing the school\u2019s process. \u201cIn addition, USU holds many grievance hearings via Zoom or other video conferencing methods as an additional safety precaution.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Concealed weapons on campus\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to immediate danger when a shooter is on campus, school officials must also contend with a potential increase in law-abiding people who carry concealed firearms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Feb. 15, 2021, Gov. Spencer Cox signed a new law that removed the state requirement <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for law-abiding<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> U<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tahns over the age of 21 to have a permit to carry a concealed firearm. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a provisional firearm <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bci.utah.gov\/provisional-firearm-permit-frequently-asked-questions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">permit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for 18\u201320-year-olds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, a concealed firearm permit application may be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bci.utah.gov\/firearm-transfers\/history-overview-statistics\/firearm-transfer-concealed-firearm-permit-statistics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">denied<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for reasons such as felony conviction, convicted of a crime of violence or domestic violence offense.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the requirement to have a concealed permit has been lifted in Utah, public institutions of higher education still require a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title76\/Chapter10\/76-10-S505.5.html?v=C76-10-S505.5_2021050520210505\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">permit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to carry a concealed weapon and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title76\/Chapter10\/76-10-S505.5.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">require<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/xcode\/Title76\/Chapter10\/76-10-S505.5.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0provisional permits<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for 18\u201320-year-olds on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou cannot carry a weapon on campus, unless you are authorized by the legislature,\u201d Crabtree said.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I give them the Utah Code [76-10-505.5].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there is no state law requiring a concealed permit holder to make it known that they have a permit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The websites of the U, SLCC, USU and Weber have no mention of a requirement that concealed permit holders identify themselves, but they do require them to follow all state and federal laws on gun<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crabtree said they address the concealed weapon permit requirement policy if they become aware of someone not having a permit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott Carver, deputy chief safety officer of police services at the U\u2019s Department of Safety, explained that Salt Lake City\u2019s proximity to the tracks often brings about various issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe’re part of Salt Lake City, and for the good and the bad, the track lines are a feeder line for issues to come up here,\u201d Carver said. \u201cWe carry firearms as a preventative measure.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carver said the department\u2019s mindset is to stay optimistic when preparing for potential threats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou know, we hope for the best and train for the worst,\u201d Carver said. \u201cAnd just like every other entity, the university has had significant violent issues on campus. Therefore, it’s an unfortunate reality for the community that weapons are necessary to respond to crimes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teresa Chaikowsky <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported and wrote this story as a journalism student at Salt Lake Community College.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story is jointly published as part of the Utah College Media Collaborative, a historic cross-campus project bringing together emerging…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":900031,"featured_media":22129139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16046],"tags":[6834,16060,5392,16057,48,13676,16056,16049,16055],"class_list":["post-22129109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ucmc","tag-active-shooter","tag-active-shooters","tag-gun-control","tag-gun-safety","tag-guns","tag-school-shootings","tag-slcc","tag-ucmc","tag-utah-college-media-collaborative"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
