That’s the advice of campus police if a shooter goes on a rampage here. “These situations are dynamic and evolve rapidly,” police say, warning that “there may be no pattern or method” in a shooter’s selection of victims.
Run
If there’s a path to safety, run – even if others insist on staying. Once you are safe, try to keep others from walking into danger and call 9-1-1.
Hide
If you can’t run to safety, hide. Turn out the lights, lock the doors and silence the ringer and vibrator on your cell phone.
Fight
As a last resort, fight back. Working alone or with others, use improvised weapons – a chair, a trash can, a vase – to try to disarm the shooter and take him down.
