Churches Becoming Soft Targets: Michigan and Minnesota Shootings Highlight Urgent Need for Faith-Based Security

Image
Grand Blanc, Michigan- September 28, 2025 – The tragic shooting today at a Mormon church in Michigan, where multiple people were killed and wounded before the shooter was taken down, underscores a painful reality: America’s houses of worship are increasingly becoming soft targets for violent attacks. This comes just days after another horrifying incident in Minnesota, where a gunman opened fire during Mass at a Catholic school, killing and injuring parishioners. “These are not isolated events—they are part of a growing trend,” said Jereme Dozier, CEO of Axios Security Group , a veteran-owned security and investigations firm. “Church leaders must stop denying the facts. The responsibility of the church is not only to shepherd the flock spiritually, but to protect them physically as well.” Recent incidents reinforce this urgent warning: Michigan (September 2025): Multiple people shot during Sunday service at a Mormon church. Minnesota (September 2025): Catholic school shooti...

Why DIY Bug Sweeps Fail: The Critical Importance of Professional TSCM Services

Image
In an age where information is currency, protecting sensitive conversations, trade secrets, and personal privacy has never been more critical. Corporate espionage, insider threats, and unauthorized surveillance are not just theoretical risks—they are real dangers faced by businesses, law firms, high-profile executives, and even private citizens every single day. When individuals attempt to conduct their own bug sweeps —also known as Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) —the outcome is almost always the same: a false sense of security. Without advanced equipment, professional training, and years of field experience, DIY sweeps typically miss the very threats they are meant to uncover. Worse, they may alert the adversary that their device has been discovered, putting the victim in even greater danger. At Axios Investigations Firm and Axios Security Group , we specialize in providing elite-level TSCM services performed by former military, law enforcement, and intelligence pro...

Veterans on the Frontlines: Debunking Misconceptions About Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

Image
September 26, 2025 — Washington, D.C.  As Gaza endures one of the most devastating humanitarian crises in recent memory, aid delivery remains both a lifeline and a battleground of narratives. Reports from the Washington Post reveal not only the scale of operations but also the sacrifices of U.S. veterans now working in one of the world’s most dangerous environments. Quote from Jereme Dozier, CEO of Axios Security Group: "These veterans have traded their uniforms for humanitarian service, but their courage remains the same. They are proving that discipline, sacrifice, and a commitment to protecting life extend far beyond the battlefield. In Gaza, they are the difference between hunger and survival." 1. Misconception: The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is failing. Reality: The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has delivered more than 167 million meals under extraordinary conditions. Their efforts are sustaining families where traditional aid systems have collapsed. 2. Misc...

Subways Under Scrutiny: Are America’s Transit Systems Becoming Increasingly Dangerous Soft Targets?

Image
New York, NY — The recent unprovoked throat-slashing of a commuter on a New York subway has reignited national concerns over whether mass transit systems are becoming increasingly dangerous soft targets. The suspect, who later claimed he “just scared him,” has left both law enforcement and the public grappling with the fragile security landscape of urban transportation networks. Subways as High-Risk Environments Subway systems are inherently vulnerable. With confined spaces, crowded platforms, limited exits, and thousands of daily riders, they present a target-rich environment for both opportunistic criminals and potential terror actors. Unlike airports, where layers of federalized security exist, subway systems often rely on the presence of city police and surveillance cameras, leaving noticeable security gaps. “Subways have become what we in security classify as soft targets,” said Jereme Dozier, CEO of Axios Security Group . “They combine dense populations with minimal screening...

Dallas ICE Facility Shooting Renews Urgent Calls for Clear Domestic Terrorism Laws and Enhanced Security Measures

Image
Sniper attack underscores growing threats; Axios Security Group urges precise definitions, enhanced training, and public-private collaboration. Dallas, TX – September 24, 2025 – Today's sniper attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas has renewed urgent questions about how the United States defines, prosecutes, and prevents acts of domestic terrorism. Authorities reported that a gunman positioned on a rooftop opened fire on the ICE field office, targeting a transport van in the sally port. Two detainees were killed, two others critically wounded, and the shooter died by suicide. Investigators revealed shell casings marked with the phrase “ANTI-ICE,” underscoring the attacker’s ideological motive. This latest assault adds to a troubling list of ideologically driven attacks in recent decades: Oklahoma City Bombing (1995) – 168 killed in the deadliest act of domestic terrorism on U.S. soil. Boston Marathon Bombing (2013) – Pressure-cooker bom...

Critical Infrastructure Security Under Scrutiny: Axios Security Group Weighs In- Secret Service agents dismantle network that could shut down New York cellphone system

Armed Man Incident at Charlie Kirk Arizona Memorial at State Farm Stadium Spurs Calls for Stronger VIP Security Measures

Turning Point in Campus Security: After the Charlie Kirk Tragedy, What Comes Next?

Image
By Axios Security Group | September 2025 Introduction: A Tragedy That Shook the Nation The shooting at Charlie Kirk’s event in Utah left the nation reeling and once again put the spotlight on security protocols for political activists, thought leaders, and high-value individuals. While law enforcement’s response was swift, the incident revealed glaring vulnerabilities on college campuses and at large-scale events where the line between public access and personal safety blurs. The Security Lapses at Utah College Campus Reports from NBC News and The Hill confirm that the shooter gained access through standard entry points with minimal resistance. The venue lacked: Proper perimeter screening and layered checkpoints. Advanced surveillance integration beyond fixed CCTV. Crowd monitoring beyond campus security and limited police presence. For a high-profile political event, these gaps created an environment ripe for exploitation. Axios Security Group’s Recommended Solutions To...

Tragedy on the Tracks: Ukrainian Refugee Stabbed to Death on Charlotte Light Rail — Time for Cities to Rethink Security

Image
Charlotte, NC — September 1, 2025 A tragic and senseless act of violence shook Charlotte’s transit system: 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska , who fled the war in Ukraine, was randomly stabbed to death aboard a Lynx Blue Line train. The attack, captured in chilling surveillance footage, has reignited debate on public transit safety and police staffing lapses.
