UGA Office of Emergency Preparedness - Active Threat
An active threat is an emergency situation involving a person or persons who are actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area by acts of either random or systematic violence.
They include any assault with a deadly weapon (guns, knives, explosives, etc.) with one objective in mind; causing as many deaths as possible.
The assailant's overriding objective appears to be that of mass murder, rather than criminal conduct such as robbery, kidnapping, etc.
