Ep. 21 The Courage to Live - Inside the UNLV Active Shooter Response

 In this episode of The Courage to Live, Josh Bitsko sits down with his co-host, Jenna, to walk through the 2023 active shooter at UNLV. Josh was the incident commander that day. He explains how the first teams entered within seconds, why getting medical inside fast can save lives, and how the response was coordinated across agencies on a large, open campus. You will also hear the human side: the quick call Josh made to Jenna on the way, what it felt like to run the command post for hours, and what changed when he went home and chose to process the incident instead of stuffing it down.
