Video Transcript

An active shooter is someone who is "actively engaged" in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, they use a firearm. Their selection of victims may be completely random. The place they choose for their shooting may appear random as well. But the one constant about active shooter attacks is that they are unpredictable. They can occur any time and anywhere to anyone. Most of these incidents lasts only 10 to 15 minutes, so they are usually over before law enforcement arrives on the scene. That means you must be able to help yourself when trouble starts. You can start getting ready for it now. First, you should be mentally prepared to act if an emergency strikes. Taking quick and decisive action is a crucial survival skill.
