During an active shooter event, there are three actions that could help save your life: run, hide, and fight.
If there is an active shooter in your store, you need to get out of the building, even if others insist on staying.
While evacuating during an active shooter event, try to convince others to leave with you, but don’t let them slow you down if they can't decide.
If you’re fleeing the store during an active shooter event, don’t let anything slow down your evacuation, including collecting your belongings, convincing others to evacuate, or even helping the wounded.
Once you’re safely outside of the active shooter zone, call emergency services, and try to prevent others from walking into the danger zone.
If there is an active shooter in your store, and you can’t get out of the building, hide in a room with doors that can be locked, and barricade them with furniture. Secure your hiding place the best you can and make it as hard as possible for the shooter to get you.
If you are unable to get to a room during an active shooter event, hide behind large objects that can block you, that keep you out of the shooter’s view, and that can protect you from fired bullets.
If you are hiding during an active shooter event, turn off the lights, remain quiet and calm, and silence your watch, cell phone, etc. to try to prevent the shooter from seeing or hearing you.
If you cannot run or hide during an active shooter event, prepare to fight, whether you’re alone or with a group.
If you must fight during an active shooter event, act with physical aggression. Improvise weapons; do anything you can to incapacitate the shooter, no matter what.
To prepare for the unlikely event of an active shooter in your store, know your environment. Have an exit plan.

During an active shooter event, once you’ve safely fled from the store, call emergency services to report the shooter and follow their instructions.
When calling emergency services to report an active shooter event, provide the operator with important details relating to the shooter and known victims. Give as much information as possible, so law enforcement and first responders can handle the situation as quickly as possible.
The first responders on scene at an active shooter event are not there to help evacuate or to help the wounded right away. Their first priority is to stop the shooter.
When first responders arrive on an active shooter scene, remain calm and follow their instructions, so they can keep you safe while they work to stop the shooter.
If you see first responders during an active shooter event, avoid yelling or pointing. Do not make erratic movements, and keep your hands visible at all times, so they can more effectively find and stop the shooter.
During an active shooter event, once you’re safely out of the store, do not leave the area. You must be accounted for so others know you’re safe. You are also a witness to the event, so you will need to be interviewed.
