Active shooter safety<\/p>\n
As the number of active shooters in public spaces rises worldwide, government, industry and educational institutions have focused on training people to act immediately during a shooting.<\/p>\n
Remember most active shooters do not have a specific target in mind. They will shoot at random.<\/p>\n
The rules:
\nRun, escape if the path is accessible.
\nHide, in less obvious places.
\nFight. As resort of last hope, attempt to disrupt, distract or incapacitate an active shooter.
\nIf you believe you have a chance to escape, don’t pause to urge others to follow you. Act immediately. Get out and do not stop of help injured people.<\/p>\n
According to the Department of Homeland Security, if you can’t escape, then find either cover or concealment. Cover might protect you from gunfire. Concealment will hide you from the view of the shooter.<\/p>\n
When law enforcement arrives, they will be focused on the shooter. They will not have time to help injured people until the threat is over. Officers might shout orders and everyone must be prepared to follow the orders immediately. Officers might push people to the ground to get them out of the line of fire or even out of the way of responders.<\/p>\n
As officers arrive, you must put down any items in your hands, raise your hands, and prepare to follow instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
