Explanation:

Analyze standard definitions

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and federal agencies define an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area."

Evaluate the options

• Option 1: "A situation where an individual is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined or populated area with multiple victims" matches the standard federal definition.
• Option 2: Focuses on the systematic nature and shooter's intent to continue, which is too specific and not the standard definition.
• Option 3: "An incident in which a violent individual causes disruption..." is too broad and does not specify shooting or killing.

Select the best definition

Option 1 is the most accurate and standard definition of an active shooter incident.

Answer:

• (A) A situation where an individual is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined or populated area with multiple victims (Correct answer)
• (B) An incident in which there is the intentional, random, or systematic shooting of multiple victims, in which the shooter's intent is to continue the attack until they are no longer able to do so.
