S6E10 Why ‘Being on the Radar’ Doesn’t Stop a Shooter (Part 2) | Katherine Schweit

In Part 2 of this conversation, former FBI agent Katherine Schweit continues her deep dive with experts from Integras Intelligence — unpacking one of the most misunderstood and frustrating questions in the aftermath of targeted violence.

Joining Katherine are:

• Michael Ginch, Manager, Investigations

• Forhad Razzaque, President

• Why many perpetrators have no obvious warning signs — and why that’s increasing

• The uncomfortable truth: people close to offenders are often shocked by what happens 

• Why “being on the radar” can mean almost anything — from minor past incidents to vague concerns

• The legal reality: why law enforcement can’t act without threshold evidence

• How free speech and civil liberties limit intervention — even when something feels wrong

• Why monitoring the internet is not as simple as it sounds (and why it’s impossible to catch everything)

• The problem of false positives — and why context matters more than keywords

One of the most striking takeaways from this episode:

👉 Many organisations don’t even have a basic system for reporting concerns.

Which means:

• Warning signs may never reach decision-makers

• Employees don’t know who to tell

• And even when they do… there’s no clear process for action

As the Integras team explains, prevention isn’t about catching everything —it’s about what you do when something is flagged.

You can’t prevent every act of violence.

But you can build systems that make it harder to miss the signals that matter.

Because when something goes wrong, the real question isn’t just:

“Were they on the radar?”

It’s:

“What did we do when they were?”

In Part 1, Katherine breaks down:

• What background checks actually reveal

• Why investigations are limited by law

• And how risk is assessed before an incident
