Victims killed with firearms of private security companies, taken home after duty

Since 2002

0

innocent people have been shot dead in Israel with firearms carried off-duty by security guards. Twenty-one women and twenty men were shot and killed in the domestic sphere with the guns of private security firms.

In the eleven years from 2002 to 2013, at least 18 women and 18 men (36 victims in all, including a 17 year old youth) were shot dead with the firearms of private security companies in the private sphere or in domestic contexts. Then, between 2014 and 2016, not one death was inflicted with off-duty company arms. This striking development was due to the enforcement of an existing law barring security guards from bearing firearms off-duty. While the law was enacted in 2008, its enforcement in 2013 was directly credited (by the State Comptroller) to GFKT’s public advocacy on the topic. However, following a 2016 amendment of the law again allowing guards to bear company guns after duty and outside of work sites, the shootings resumed.
