"This nonfiction narrative is a page turner... you will not put it down until you finish it."—CMSgt William Kelly, USAF, Office of Special Investigations
On 20 June 1994, a "dangerous" airman shot his mental-health doctors before going on a shooting spree at an Air Force hospital. Days later, a B-52 bomber plunged into the ground killing her crew and a pilot who was known for his reckless flying.
Warnings Unheeded is a suspenseful narrative from former Air Force criminal investigator Andy Brown. As a young military policeman, Brown responded to the hospital and ended the gunman's killing spree with a 70-yard shot from his Beretta M9 handgun. Now, after years of interviews and unprecedented access to records, letters, statements and journal entries, Brown tells the complete story behind the mass murder and the fatal plane crash. Using first-hand accounts, the narrative details the warnings signs that preceded the tragedies and reveals the military leadership whose inaction endangered the community. This is an extraordinary story of ordinary men and women who became life-saving first responders, victims who fought to survive, and survivors who fought for answers, accountability and change. In a parallel storyline, Brown shows how he prepared for the deadly gunfight, describes his encounter with the gunman, and offers a candid insight into the hidden cost of becoming a "hero."
