The true story of the struggle to prevent the 1994 murders and aviation disaster at Fairchild Air Force Base... and the heroic response to both tragedies. "This nonfiction narrative is a page-turner … you will not put it down." —CMSgt William Kelly, USAF, OSIOn 20 June 1994, a former airman opened fire on the patrons and staff of the Fairchild Air Force Base hospital. Among his victims were the doctors who had warned of his descent into homicidal madness. Four days after the shooting spree, a B-52 bomber plunged to the ground during an airshow-practice flight. Some of Fairchild’s most veteran aviators were lost when the massive airplane crashed, including a reckless senior pilot and the young commander who had fought to have him grounded. Warnings Unheeded comes to us from the man who ended the killing spree and is the result of extensive research and interviews with the men and women who witnessed the tragedies unfold. Andy Brown gives a firsthand account of his pistol-versus-rifle gunfight, and offers a candid insight into the hidden cost of becoming a "hero." Ultimately, with the goal of intervention, Brown's narrative reveals the signs of impending violence and disaster as seen through the eyes of those who experienced the tragedies, and those who struggled to prevent them."Warnings Unheeded should be the model and format used to catalog the events leading up to every mass violence incident … The amount of lessons learned in this book is astounding."—Daniel Shaw, Former Infantry Unit Leader, U.
