Shooting Incidents, Common Factors
FBI Agent Involved Shootings, 1989-1994
♦ Average 20-30 shootings per year, typically in plain civilian clothing
♦ FBI agents don’t do patrol work, don’t police bars, don’t answer domestic disturbance
calls—their shootings closely parallel those of private citizens.
♦ Roughly one half of FBI involved shootings occur because of a criminal attempting
to rob or assault what they think is a private citizen, who turns out to
be an FBI agent.
♦ 92% occurred at 6-10 feet
♦ Average rounds fired = 3.2
♦ At 21-50 feet the average number of rounds fired jumped to 6.36
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Discharge Report, 2007
♦ 56 incidents in which shots were fired
♦ 12 were accidental discharges, usually during cleaning (clear your gun!)
♦ Of the 44 defensive shootings:
♦ Average distance was 14.6 feet (about the length of a car).
♦ Average number of shots fired = 5.
Rangemaster Student Involved Shootings
♦ 48 incidents to date. Of these, 10 were selected for a presentation at the
2008 Tactical Conference. Of those ten representative shootings:
♦ 5 of 10 involved an armed robbery by one or two suspects;
♦ 3 occurred on mall parking lots, only one occurred in home;
♦ In all but one, the range was inside the length of a large car/SUV;
♦ 4 out of 10 incidents involved 2 or more suspects;
♦ Average number of shots fired = 3.8 (low-1, high-11).
Common Threads:
1. FBI: 6-10 feet/DEA: 14.6 feet/ Rangemaster: 4-15 feet/ 1 car length (My vehicle
is 18.4’ long)
2. Plain clothing, gun concealed, need fast concealed access.
3. High probability of more than one assailant.
4. Most occur in public areas, parking lots, malls NOT at home. WEAR YOUR
GUN!
