Rasmus Midgett was patrolling the North Carolina coast during a hurricane when he heard voices somewhere beyond the dark surf.

On Friday, the FBI released its report on active shooter incidents in 2025. The news, however, was quickly overshadowed by the active shooter incident that unfolded on Saturday afternoon in Twin Falls, Idaho, where a 24-year-old man opened fire on employees and customers at an In-N-Out restaurant before an off-duty police officer and an armed citizen sent him fleeing. Like that shooting, the FBI report shows that the most common place for an active shooter incident in 2025 was businesses, though not all of them are open to the public.

When a deadly virus lands in a California town and starts ravaging the population, most people don’t have a clue what’s happening until it’s too late. There’s no warning. No broadcast telling you to get out now. Just armed guards, lockdown orders, and people in hazmat suits who aren’t there to help. Outbreak (1995) keeps it simple. A virus spreads. People aren’t ready. And when the government shows up, you’re already out of options. It’s a reminder that when decisions get made behind closed doors, the rest of us live with the fallout. The movie shows a scenario that feels…
