Armed Security Guard Industry – Gun Accidents
Armed security guards play a vital role in keeping our buildings safe. Unfortunately, their duties also put them at an increased risk of violence, including gun violence. For example, a security guard at an office building may encounter an armed intruder, or someone might bring a gun into a store with the intention of a robbery. If an armed security guard is shot while at work, they may sustain serious injuries like:
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Blood loss
- Broken bones
In many cases, gunshot wounds are fatal. They can also lead to life-changing injuries, such as paralysis or cognitive changes due to a traumatic brain injury. Being involved in a workplace shooting also increases the risk of mental health issues, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder.
