Who is involved: Gather the closest group of people and lead them outdoors. Move people away from the sound of shots.
What to do: Follow the mantra “Run. Hide. Fight.” If possible, run away from the situation. Do not stay in place and play dead. If running is not possible, hide behind cover, preferably in a locked room and remain quiet. If pressed into a situation where neither are possible, find a nearby object to use as a weapon and fight the assailant.
Where to go: Immediately make your way to the closest exit. If there is not an exit to the exterior nearby, find cover, hide, and shelter in place.
When to execute: If you suspect an active shooter situation, make the decision to act immediately. Do not wait for others to confirm.
How to help: When First Responders arrive on scene, they assume control of situation. If hiding with a group of people in cover, have them remain as quiet as possible; do not exit any room or open the door in order to attempt to retrieve others.
