[quote=Anonymous]I worked for a company that had a mass shooting at a facility in another state years ago, so we were given updated active shooter training in our office by a member of the Arlington County SWAT team. In addition to the RUN, HIDE, FIGHT strategy, one thing stood out to me that I always keep in mind and repeat to my own child from time to time--Never sit and assess whether the sound you heard is actually gun shots. The officer who spoke with us told us that some fatalities happen because before people actually RUN, they sit and think too long about the sound, and then they'll go ask a friend or coworker what they think, and then they will wait to see if they hear it again. His advice was to get out of that spot immediately, get to safety and call the police because police would rather deal with a well-intended false alarm then more casualties. [/quote]
