Active Shooter

Be ready to respond quickly to an active shooter incident. “An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people inside an occupied structure or outside in a populated area. In most cases there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly..." (Excerpt from Department of Homeland Security video).

Remember: 

• Help students remain calm.
• Encourage students to silence their electronic devices.
• If law enforcement has not arrived on the scene, contact them as soon as it is safe to do so.
• If there is an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement and an intruder, immediately lie down and remain on the ground until instructed by law enforcement to move.
• To the extent possible, ensure that all students are accounted for.
• Be prepared to implement “Run, Hide, Fight” as explained in the "Active Shooter" Presentation
