ANATOMY OF TERROR

The Oslo, Norway attack 2011 

Part 1

This episode of 'Stop The Killing' investigates the devastating 2011 Norway attacks, the deadliest mass shooting ever reported. We discuss the comprehensive planning involved, involving both a car bomb near the executive government quarters that killed 8 people and injured 209 in Oslo, followed by an active shooting on a youth camp on an island nearby that resulted in the killing of 69 people, mostly teenagers. The perpetrator, motivated by extremist right-wing beliefs, was able to execute his plan with chilling precision due to extensive pre-meditation and deceptive tactics. The horrific events and their significant aftermath put into perspective the unexpected challenges faced by law enforcement in such chaotic scenarios and highlight the importance of emergency preparedness.

FROM MASS SHOOTING TO MASS DECEPTION

 The Case of Alex Jones and the Sandy Hook Families

The podcast episode delves into the continuation of the legal battle between the Sandy Hook families and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who spread false theories that the horrific Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. Despite being sued and ordered to pay a massive $1.5 billion judgment by the court, Jones has avoided this payment using bankruptcy claims and continues to generate significant wealth through his media company. The Sandy Hook families have since reduced their demand to $85 million, but Jones still refuses to pay, all while continuing to earn substantially from his conspiracy theory-based venture. The episode explores the manipulation and harm caused by Jones' actions and the distressing reality of these families who have been relentlessly harassed and lied about for a decade.

MANHUNT: Lewiston, Maine Mass Shooting & The Urgency of Prevention

S4E41

In this episode of Stop the Killing, hosts Catherine and Sarah discuss the Lewiston, Maine mass shooting that occurred on October 25, 2023. The gunman, a local with known mental health issues and a history of violent threats, attacked two frequented locations, killing 18 people and injuring 13.

RAGE, GUNS AND TRAGEDY

Unraveling the Complexity of Gun Violence: The Case of a Louisville Bank Shooting

In this episode of Stop the Killing, we discuss a horrific case of a shooting that occurred in a Louisville, Kentucky bank. The shooter, a 25-year-old bank employee struggling with depression, shot five coworkers and a freshly graduated police officer before being killed. What sets this case apart is the shooter's clear objection to US gun laws and his intention to demonstrate how easy it was for someone with mental health issues to purchase an assault-style weapon. Highlighting the case's shocking and uniquely confounding details, we contemplate the difficulty of identifying potential shooters and emphasize the need for continued awareness and vigilance.

TWISTED FAMILY SECRETS 

The Groundbreaking Oxford School Shooting Case: Parental Role Reconsidered

BONUS EPISODE 

This episode with Katherine Schweit on the Stop the Killing podcast re-examines the Oxford High School shooting case in Michigan. Three years after the incident involving a 15-year-old boy who killed four classmates, the case remains significant due to the charges faced by the shooter's parents for involuntary manslaughter, a first in the United States. Easily remembered for the parents failing to take responsibility and optimal care in firearm management, the case asks challenging questions about parental responsibility. The trial of the mother has concluded with guilty verdicts for all charges, resulting in potential imprisonment for 60 years. The parents' lack of transparency and alleged aiding of their son made them appear as indirectly involved parties. The father’s trial will be the next event to watch out for and is anticipated to proceed with a different defensive strategy. With the prosecution's strategy already been public knowledge, their defense must work on something alternative yet convincing. Beyond the specifics of the case, the episode delves into evident shifts in perspectives regarding parental negligence and culpability in such incidents, suggesting that prosecutors and district attorneys might now look more critically at higher charges for parents and guardians in similar future situations.
