How to survive an active shooter.
There are almost daily active shooting scenarios in the world but here are some of the ways to survive active shooting if you are in the vicinity of the shooter.
You can either run, hide or fight but there is no particular order but the situation in your environment determines what you do at that time.
If it is to run, before you do it first thing for a second because in most cases people run towards the gun shooter simply because the sound is always opposite the bullet shot.
Always don't follow the crowd because it gives the shooter a clear focus of on it.
Always run zig zag because this makes the shooter loose focus because you are disorganizing his point of elevation and targets
run hiding in bulk barriers for example when in the parking lot, hide behind vehicles near the engine sides because the bullet may not pass through but not near the fuel tank, if in building, hide behind big desks or machines etc.
If the shooter follows you in your hiding place, try to calm down and pick small objects to throw them in a certain direction for him to loose focus on you.
If you feel that it's the right time to fight, then make sure it is the right last thing you have thought of, then Fight focusing on the gun and make sure it doesn't face you. finally try to disarm the shooter is which ever ways possible.
