Active Shooter:

• In general, how do you respond to an active shooter will be dictated by the specific circumstances of the encounter, bearing in mind there could be more than one shooter involved in the same situation.
• If you find yourself involved in an active shooter situation, try to remain calm and use these guidelines to help you plan a strategy for survival.
• If you are in a room and the shooter is outside the door:
• Take cover behind something that will stop a bullet.
• Hide (look for a chance to escape)
• Get out if possible (i.e. windows)
• Play dead.
• If a shooter is outside your building:
• Proceed to a room that can be locked, enter and use furniture to block the door(s).
• Turn off lights and get down on the floor below window level.
• Dial 911 from a campus phone or 677-2111 from your cell phone and report to police. Keep your phone on vibrate so you don't alert the suspect to your location.
• Advise the dispatcher of what is taking place, and;
• Inform him/her of your location.
• Remain in place until the police, or a campus administrator known to you, gives the all clear.
• Do not respond to any voice commands until you can verify with certainty that they are being issued by a police officer.
