On 20 June 1994, a former airman sought vengeance with a rifle at the Fairchild Air Force Base hospital.

Four days later a rogue pilot crashed a B-52 bomber during an air-show practice flight.

Both tragedies had been predicted and repeatedly warned about.

The base psychiatrist knew the airman was dangerous.
"This is the kind of patient who ... one day ... he's going to come back and kill you."
Aircrews knew the rogue pilot was dangerous.
"We predicted the worst air-show disaster in history when we found out that he was gonna fly."

Have you ever heard someone say that a tragedy struck without warning?

Read Warnings Unheeded and see the precursors of violence and tragedy in this page-turning true story of mental illness, mass murder and aviation disaster.

"In vivid and thoroughly researched detail, Andy Brown masterfully weaves two tragic stories ... this is an important and well-written read."
Gregory K. Moffatt, Ph.D., Author of Blind-Sided: Homicide Where it is Least Expected

On 20 June 1994, a former airman sought vengeance with a rifle at the Fairchild Air Force Base hospital. Four days later a rogue pilot crashed a B-52 outside of Fairchild's Nuclear Weapon Storage Area. Both tragedies had been predicted and repeatedly warned about.

Warnings Unheeded is a rare look inside the troubled mind of a would-be active shooter. It is an exclusive look at a talented pilot whose dangerous flying prompted aircrews to refuse to fly with him. It is a look at the leadership culture that allowed both men to travel unchecked on the pathway toward destruction.

This unique true-crime book reads like a suspense novel, densely packed with details garnered from medical records, police reports and first-hand accounts obtained from journal entries, letters, witness statements and personal interviews. These empowering stories detail the heroic response to the tragedies, the events that lead up to them, the precursors of violence and disaster and the traumatic aftermath.

Written by Andy Brown, the man who ended the hospital killing spree. Brown's narrative focuses mainly on others, including the heroic life-saving actions of hospital patrons and staff, but he also describes the preparations he made which enabled him to win a pistol-versus-rifle gunfight as well as his own experience with the effects of trauma.

"An amazing book. An instant classic. Staff Sergeant Brown is a true guardian who saved countless lives with supernatural marksmanship skill in a moment of great need, but he has also proven himself to be a true warrior-wordsmith who will save even more lives, as the lessons from this book are learned and applied in our current violent times. Absolutely "required reading" for law enforcement and mental health professionals, but also profoundly valuable for anyone who wants to understand violence and mental illness in our society today."
Lt Col Dave Grossman (US Army, retired)
Author of On Combat, On Killing, and Assassination Generation


"There are specific lessons in this book that can help us to prevent lethal tragedy. Lessons for bosses, subordinates, and coworkers. Lessons for law enforcement, and for psychologists, and for human resources personnel. But there are also general lessons for all of us that can save lives, though perhaps not so dramatically nor so heroically as Andy Brown saving uncounted lives when he 'rode to the sound of the guns.'"
From the Foreword written by Massad Ayoob

Happier than expected!
Color: Obsidian Black
I have two destination weddings coming up back to back and wanted to have something small but functional that I could use to carry my phone, ID, some small cash, a CC or two and lipstick. This was perfect! I bought 2. One in black and one in brown. They lay flat for packing, are small enough to use for the event to carry the essentials, the pockets inside will keep everything organized, they have gold handles if I don’t want to use the removable gold chain strap. It’s very light weight and the pleather is super soft (I did see on other reviews that someone said they had a smell, mine do not). It comes with its own dust bag for storage when it’s not in use. I git them on sale so for around $20 it is well worth the value and if something happens to it during the event or trip, even after for a girls night out I won’t be out hundreds of dollars like I would otherwise with my usual purses. Great choice. Colors are spot on, quality seems solid, and I expect to get a lot of use out of these due to being able to dress them up or dress them down. PEFECT!

Perfect addition to my wardrobe
Color: Chrome Silver
I purchased the silver clutch to wear with a lavender dress for a recent wedding. I wanted a style that I figured all of the girlies wouldn’t be wearing, I also didn’t want to spend too much. This may seem odd, but I’m plus size, and didn’t want to carry a tiny purse with my frame. This was perfect! I loved the metallic shade. It had a slight sheen to it, which made it look upscale. There’s slots on the inside to hold the necessary license and bank card.. The purse held everything I needed for the evening, even the card for the newlyweds! You will not be let down with this one!

Stunning clutch
Color: Champagne Gold-satin
Absolutely gorgeous. Even my husband commented on it and he never comments on purses. It will hold everything you need for a formal night out.

Elegant Hand Clutch
Color: Champagne Gold-satin
Phone will indeed fit inside, beautiful to carry or put on the chain, color was a little lighter than I thought champagne would have been; however, it worked very well. Will last for years details were very good.
