Lt. Mike Madden, who's job is largely administrative:

"The realization came to me โ€“ I think I'm the first guy here. The first officer on scene has
2/
some decisions they have to make & I had it set in my mind that I wanted three more officers to go in with me...None of us were SWAT guys. If you were trying to formulate a team to make entry...the four of us would not be on your roster.

But that was the team that we had.
3/
That was the team that we were rolling with.

After Columbine...it became the responsibility of those first officers on scene โ€“ whether patrolman or detective or sergeant or some stupid lieutenant who happens to be in the area โ€“ it's our responsibility to get there, form up a
4/
team & get in & stop that bloodshed.

Waiting was never an option. It was, 'We're going & we're going now'."

Officer Andrew Delaney, Charleston PD

"We knew since we were the first officers on the scene, we were going to be the first officers in that door.

When you get to an active shooter situation, somebody has to stop them before they're
6/
going to stop killing people.

You go in."

Mike Wear, Bike Patrol Officer, DC Metropolitan PD

"It was, 'ok, we've got to go in. We've got to go through the door. Let's go.'

That was the conversation...because the
7/
idea behind the training is you don't have to talk about it. You've got to go do it'."

"Every second that you donโ€™t catch up to him & stop him could be another life. We had to go."

"You have to keep pressing forward. You have to get in there & you have to stop this situation."

Robert Sparks, Santa Monica PD Officer

"There's a
9/
lot of things going through my head...fear...we're reacting with a lot of emotion. You've just got to control that and do what you're trained to do."
