This fire in the marsh in #Pittsburg in Contra Costa Co flared up again yesterday & even more so today, widely visible throughout the area. Air resources requested & CAL FIRE sending Copter 908. #PittMarshFire (that hashtag may change if they make a new incident for today). 
#Pittsburg - Renamed to the #MarshFire. Copter 908 working it now, not much further it can spread to the east as the marsh ends. Heavy ember cast towards homes & looking to establish a structure protection group.

THREAD: I had to do some research on armed guards in schools, synagogues, etc. It's difficult - there is very very little research on armed guards and "active shooter incidents". Like basically no data. But what I was able to dig up shows a few things:
1) Where there are more guns, there is more gun violence and more deaths. Period. This is not new news. @MomsDemand @Everytown #Pittsburg #WeDeserveBetter
2) An FBI report analyzed 160 active shooter incidents between 2000 and 2013. The following data was presented:
In 45 of the 160 incidents where law enforcement engaged a shooter, law enforcement suffered casualties in 21 (46.7%) of the incidents (9 officers killed & 28 wounded)
In 45 of the 160 incidents where law enforcement engaged a shooter, law enforcement suffered casualties in 21 (46.7%) of the incidents (9 officers killed & 28 wounded)
