This subject may make some people think about what is "Secondary Incidents" Well the easiest way to explain is that when you have an incident it has not been correctly handled and the individual decides to revisit the staff member or organisation to continue with the problem/issue. This video explains just a few things to think about to see if you and your staff are prepared and informed if such an incident occurs. Incidents relating to individuals returning to the scene of the problem are becoming more frequent and ensuring that staff understand that just because the individual has left does not mean the incident is over.

SBA-funded SCORE volunteers chapter chair in Billings, serving the Eastern half of MT, Northern half of WY, and Western half of SD.
Surprising stats but the "solutions" here would only help document a tragedy rather than avert it. Teaching anger management, empathy, and how to de-escalate confrontations (pro-tips, no profanity or name-calling as that surprisingly escalates minor disagreement up into murder, expanding vocabularies and articulation helps reduce violence a lot) as well as teaching how to physically intervene as a group rather than just film it on smartphones. Dire consequences for out of control tempers, bullying, and threats (like immediate termination) help too. An odd aspect of workplace violence as it's often done by someone who's not supposed to be on site at all, not just the recently fired but the abusive boyfriend who knows where his victim still works and confronts her there (and that guy frequently kills several co-workers who just happened to be between him and her.) I remember a 300 employee office building that when live security in the lobby was put in place they discovered over 50 (!!!) of the women there had restraining orders, previously unenforced at work, against men in their lives (but not in their workplaces) and suddenly security was intercepting and turning back these guys, at least one a day!
