- Keep your hands visible
- Call 911 when you are safe
2 - Hide
- Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view
- Lock door or block entry to your hiding place
- Silence your cell phone (including vibrate mode) and remain silent
3 - Fight
- Fight as a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger

- Act with as much physical aggression as possible

- Commit to your actions… your life depends on it
