A report by Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) president John Lott shows armed citizens stopped a third of all “active shooter incidents” from 2014 through 2025.
Lott then presented the CPRC data as a correction to FBI reports which claim armed citizens only topped 3.9 percent of the incidents.
He noted that during his time in the Department of Justice during President Trump’s first term, his duties “included evaluating the FBI’s active-shooter reports.” In so doing, he “discovered that the reports omitted or misclassified numerous cases in which armed civilians stopped attacks.”
Lott noted the FBI identified 418 “active shooter incidents” from 2014 through 2025 and credited armed citizens with stopping only 16 of them. CPRC, on the other hand, “identified 615 active-shooter incidents from 2014 through 2025 and found that armed citizens stopped 225 of them.”

Tell me why the FBI should not be scattered to the four winds. It is clear they were lying egregiously to the American people here.
Agreed.
The NonReported incidents when a Firearm is Presented is a Number Lost.
Hopefully Pres Trump will tout this stat asap! OVER 1/3 of active shooter scenes stopped by good guys/citizens with guns!
