During an active shooter event, three actions that could help save your life are: run, hide, fight.
If there is an active shooter in your building, 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 with indecision.
If you’re fleeing the building 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 911, and try to prevent others from walking into the danger zone.
If there is an active shooter in your building, and you cannot 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 to you.
If you are unable to get to a room during an active shooter event, hide behind large objects that can conceal 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.
During an active shooter event, if you cannot run or hide, 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 building, know your environment. Have an exit plan.

During an active shooter event, once you’ve safely fled the building, call 911 to report the shooter, and follow their instructions.
When calling 911 to report an active shooter event, provide the 911 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 and safely as possible.
The first responders on scene at an active shooter event are not there to help evacuate or to help the wounded. They are there to stop the shooter.
When first responders arrive on an active shooter scene, remain calm and follow 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 pointing or yelling. 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 building, 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 be interviewed.
