The latest 'Weekly Update' from Fairfax County, VA:

Whether it’s an incident like Wednesday’s shooting in San Bernardino,
Calif., or you
are in the checkout line at the mall or drafting an email in your
cubicle – what
would you do if you heard gun shots and realized an active shooter was
nearby?

Just like in any other emergency situation, the best thing you can do
is to be
prepared with information on what to do next.

Take a few minutes to review the three options that will help you to
quickly
determine how to protect yourself.

Run
If there is an escape route, attempt to evacuate.

Leave your belongings behind.
Follow instructions of responding emergency personnel.

Hide
Hide in an area out of the active shooter’s view.

Block entry to your hiding place and lock the doors.
Send a text message to 9-1-1 if you’re able, but ensure your safety
first.

Fight

As a last resort and only when life is in imminent danger.

Attempt to incapacitate the active shooter.
Act with physical aggression and throw items at the active shooter.


If you can't run, and you can't hide, then attempt to incapacitate the
shooter. How?

I'd suggest shooting the son of a bitch.

Comments like that made on the Internet are probably left unsaid.
You may find yourself on somebody's "watch list".


ISIS maybe? If I can't run and can't hide, and I'm armed, you'd best believe I'd
shoot. Hit a bystander, as Krause says...well, what the hell is the active shooter
doing if not shooting innocent bystanders?
