houston – After Sunday's horrific shooting at a Lakewood church, experts say a high security presence inside the megachurch may have deterred the gunman and minimized the number of injuries. It states that there is.
Mike Matranga said: “I think if this had been a longer, more protracted issue in terms of response, this would have been a very different scenario.”
Mike Matranga is the owner of M6 Global Defense Group, which provides comprehensive, holistic planning for safe communities and workplaces. He says it's because of Lakewood and the steps they've taken to protect the congregation that the situation didn't get worse.
“The only reason this incident did not result in a higher death rate is because Lakewood Church takes safety seriously and has the right people in the right positions to address these types of concerns and issues.” Matranga said.
Matranga added that the only way to prevent this kind of unfortunate and frightening scenario is for the public to become more aware and aware of their surroundings and those around them.
“There are people in our families, in our congregations, people walking down the street, people in the grocery store who are dealing with tremendous stress, for whatever reason. “There are always signs and symptoms of people, things like this,” he added.
The motive for this shooting remains unclear.
