Can Anything Be Done To Prevent Mass Shootings At Places Of Worship?

In the wake of Saturday’s shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue, President Donald Trump said if the Tree of Life synagogue had had protection, “the results would have been far better.”

This is not the first shooting at a religious event in recent years, and security experts say it can be difficult to prevent incidents like these at churches, synagogues and other houses of worship.

It’s something Steve Adelman thinks a lot about. He runs the Adelman Law Group in Scottsdale and is vice president of the Event Safety Alliance, which is an international trade association.

The Show asked Adelman if there’s anything he thinks this synagogue could have done to have prevented this shooting.
