How to Respond to an Active Shooter Situation

An active shooter is an individual engaged in randomly killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically through the use of firearms.

1) RUN

• Have an escape route and plan in mind
• Leave your belongings behind
• Keep your hands visible

2) HIDE

• Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view
• Block entry to your hiding place and lock the doors
• Silence your cell phone

3) FIGHT

• As a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to incapacitate the shooter
• Act with physical aggression
