Subj: Fwd: Resources for Shooting  Emergencies


As many of you already know, a terrible and tragic  incident occurred at 
the Holocaust Museum today, which resulted in the death  of a museum guard. To 
echo the statement just made by AAM, our  thoughts go out to all our museum 
colleagues there.

"Our thoughts and support go out to the staff and visitors  of the U.S. 
Holocaust Memorial Museum in the wake of this tragic  incident, and our prayers 
are with the family of the courageous guard  who gave his life in service 
to the museum. Museums have always been  among the most safe and secure of 
public institutions, and museum staff  work every day to ensure that they 
remain so. We all salute the courage  and professional action of security staff 
and law enforcement in  resolving this situation."
