    Takeaway(s): —None. Incident Preventable Factor(s): —None. Editor’s Note: Despite due diligence, no preventable factors could be identified for this incident. Consider the following: “In the days prior to the shooting, [the perpetrator] was alleged to have been involved in physical scuffles with fellow city employees and threatened with disciplinary action.” 1 But that was the extent of it. If it was a precursor of things to come it clearly wasn’t a foreshadow. The perpetrator was familiar with the building and had access to employee areas within the building because “He was in good standing within his department, no issue of discipline ongoing.” 2 His guns had all been legally purchased.  The final official report of the incident found no motive. 3 Source(s): 1.
