As more and more mass shootings are announced in America this year, singer EMA has released a new track that aims to confront the ongoing situation.

Sampling Barack Obama's speech after the Umpqua Community College shootings in Oregon earlier this month, the track 'Active Shooter' creates a dark and intense atmosphere, backed up with images of Mount Pleasant, Texas Police Department's training video on mass shootings used in its video.

Watch the video for 'Active Shooter' below.
