VIDEO: A local firefighter and father made it his mission to create a lifesaving vest for kids and adults, in the case they’re confronted with an active shooter.
The idea is simple.
Regardless of where you are, if you find yourself in an active shooter situation, the first thing you want to do is get your bulletproof vest, open it up, put it on and get to safety.
A vest, Fire Captain Kevin Goodman hopes will save a life.
“It is scary. We all want our kids to be safe,” he told ABC15.
Goodman is a father of four. He says his biggest fear is sending his kids to school and not seeing them ever again. “There’s been 300…over 300 school shootings since 2000. 300…and people don’t realize how many. The shooting in Texas that was only a month and a half ago, there’s been six since then…including the one in Michigan,” he said in disbelief.
