If you are ever to find yourself
in the middle of an active shooter event,

The plan doesn't have to be complicated.

There are three things you could do

First and foremost, if you can get out, do.
Always try an escape or evacuate
even when others insist on staying.

Encourage others to leave with you,
but don't let them slow you down with indecision.

- [Narrator] As a last resort,
if your life is at risk,
whether you are alone or working together as a group, fight!

no matter what. (woman crying)
