Mark Grimaldi, Executive Producer of The Leslie Marshall Show, guest hosts for Leslie during this interview.

He's joined by Colonel Cedric Leighton, Founder and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, a strategic risk and leadership consultancy serving global companies and organizations.

The two discuss the mass shooting/terror attack that took place in Orlando, Florida this past Sunday morning.
The conversation includes:
-What we know about the shooter, Omar Mateen, and what the FBI knew about him before the shooting
-How America can protect itself from 'lone-wolf' terror attacks
-Why blaming all Muslims for the act of a few is not only wrong, but also dangerous as it alienates important allies in the war against ISIL

Colonel Leighton founded Cedric Leighton Associates in 2010, after serving in the US Air Force for 26 years as an Intelligence Officer and attaining the rank of Colonel.

As of November 2015, Colonel Leighton acquired his new position as a Military Analyst for CNN.
