If you think you can escape from the active shooting area, run as fast as you can away from the shooter, towards the "way out". Don’t stop to grab your wallet or other belongings, just go. If the shooter sees you, keep running… don’t stop! If possible, put some cover between yourself and the shooter as you move. Encourage others to do the same. But get out of there regardless of whether other people are running or not. If you see someone who looks frozen or disoriented, grab them and pull them along with you if you can. As you go, prevent anyone from entering the area as well, unless they are security personnel or law enforcement. Don’t stop running until you are far away from the danger area. When you’re safe call 911 and report the situation.
