ASSESS OPTIONS & TAKE ACTION

RUN

The second you think you hear gunshots, run. Look for the nearest exit and run away from the gun sounds. Help others and get out. When you’re clear of the building and in a safe place, call 911 and provide as much detail as possible.

HIDE

If you can’t run, hide. Block the door. Slowing down the shooter could save your life. Don’t bunch together. If someone’s been shot, stop the bleeding. Turn off the lights & silence your cellphones. Text the police at 911.

FIGHT

When you have no options left, fight. Fight dirty—throw stuff as hard as you can. Tackle the shooter high and low.
Subdue the gun.
Gouge the eyes.
Make a plan and work together.

HELP

When you are safe, help others around you.
This may be as a bystander responder, helping to stop the bleed
or helping others get to safety.
