What if there was a 'system' that allowed the users to identify who was the most likely to plan and carry out a mass shooting? What if the government conducted a test to see how the 'system' functioned and employed a team to intervene and stop the act before it happened? Is there such a 'system' and could it be developed? . The rules have changed and the gloves are off. The team and their leader Max Martin face the ones picked by the 'system.' With Doc, Tag, VJ, Christy and a new tool that helps reduce the number of people needed on the ground, Max must find a way of 'getting there' before the shooting starts. Follow the 'GT' intervention team as they take on the test program that will determine how many such teams would be needed nationwide. With Federal Authority and credentials the team gives you a glance at what it might actually look like if such a system and intervention team existed. Of course this story is fictional and the extension of such a program nationwide may not be practical. Or is it? The government reports say that the FBI Behavioral Threat Assessment Center works with all levels of law enforcement to assess people who may be contemplating violence and they claim successes. In a period from July 2012 through November 2013 it was reported that there were eleven shootings resulting in eighty-five people killed in the U.S. At the conclusion of the story the author offers some alternatives to the way we approach trying to reduce and eventually eliminate these attacks as we know them. Can anything be done?
