They encourage all worshipers to understand how to stop the bleeding if someone is shot or stabbed.

I like the idea of being proactive instead of reactive. NJ hasn't had any mass shootings since 2019 but, the state seems to be prepared for these kinds of tragedies. Good for them.

There were 3 in Trenton last year.

Thanks for the stats. I suppose I could have adjusted my phrasing to specify a shooting where people congregate. Drive by mass shootings are also a problem.

I'm certain these kits have the potential to help outside the houses of worship as well. I would hope they would use the kits on anyone who needs them.
