Everyone at Black Diamond Security Group is saddened to hear about the loss of Lauren and

our hearts go out to the McCluskey family at this difficult time. While we did not know Lauren
personally, from what we have learned, she was an intelligent, driven and hardworking young
woman.

Black Diamond Security Group’s brief relationship with Shawn Fields (which is how we knew
him), ended over a month ago. The matter is currently under review.

BDSG is registered as an unarmed security company. No BDSG employee is permitted to carry

firearms/weapons while working nor does BDSG supply any firearms/weapons to its employees.
Mr. Fields was never known by BSDG to carry a firearm/weapon, or permitted to do by BDSG.

Again, we want to express our deepest condolences to the McCluskey family for the loss of their
wonderful daughter.

BDSG will continue to investigate this matter. BDSG will make no further statement concerning
this tragic incident.
