    Takeaway(s): —Missed and not responded to red flags are all too often the culprit that gives their namesake the ability to do something horrific. Incident Preventable Factor(s): —Behavioral Red Flags Ignored/Response Delayed – Perpetrator(s) Behavior Personally Erratic/Deviated from Individual/Societal Norms: “[The incident] could have been prevented if supervisors of [the Perpetrator] had reported his erratic behavior in the months leading up to the attack, a Pentagon report … concluded.” … “Alexis had a security clearance that allowed him access to the Navy Yard and Building 197, where the shooting occurred.” … “The Pentagon study determined there were “missed opportunities for intervention” that if pursued might have prevented the killings.” 1 “Before the shooting, co-workers, supervisors and associates of Alexis had raised concerns about his mental health. Those fears were never transmitted to The Pentagon.” 2 Source(s): 1. Herb, Jeremy. March 18, 2014. “Report Finds Navy Yard Mass Shooting Could Have Been Prevented”. The Hill.
