Case Study: Marion, AR Local High School averts an active shooter and secures campus with Rave Mobile Safety (Rave Panic Button)

How a Lockdown in School Prevented Another Shooting Tragedy in Arkansas

Local High School in Marion, Arkansas faced an imminent active-shooter threat after a student reported another student bragging about bringing a gun to campus. The school had deployed Rave Mobile Safety's Rave Panic Button mobile app as part of its emergency notification and lockdown tools to address this risk.

When a teacher tapped the app's "Active Shooter" button, Rave Mobile Safety's Rave Panic Button instantly alerted all faculty, called 9-1-1, and triggered a lockdown; a school resource officer arrived (with a second officer two minutes later) and the 16-year-old was apprehended and the firearm secured within eight minutes with no injuries. The Rave Mobile Safety solution enabled rapid campus-wide notification and first-responder mobilization, directly preventing a potential shooting.
