Retired FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit who created and led the agency’s active shooter program after the shootings at Sandy Hook in 2012 joins Laura and together they reveal the characteristics of mass shooters, the behaviour that reveals they are preventable, the connection with domestic abuse, coercive control and the deep seated motivation for power and control.

In the wake of the Minneapolis shooting on August, 27 2025 where two children, 10-year-old Harper Moyski and 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel were murdered Laura and Kate share life saving and changing information as well as critical learning what went wrong at Uvalde when police waited more than an hour before confronting and killing the gunman, who shot dead 19 children and 2 adults as well as how to talk with your child(ren) as a parent.
