I’m the head instructor at a survival school that teaches defense skills for emergency situations. We often teach about mass shootings, and hear about these outlandish methods people plan to use to defend themselves.
I’ve heard of people intending to use martial arts training. I’ve heard of people planning to make tripwires, or use firecrackers.
In reality, there’s 4 traits that will make you survive a mass shooting. That’s intuition (I instinctively know this is the right thing to do), perseverance (I will find the right thing to do), determination (I can do this), and the desire self-preserve (I will keep myself alive).
After that mindset, which is the first step, then you have the tactics.
RUN, HIDE, FIGHT.
If you hear, see, or otherwise sense a threat, get out at the first sign of it. Gather a team that will come with you, but don’t waste time convincing people to come with. Move quickly. Get away from the building or area effected, behind very solid objects (cover) and call 911.
If you are stopped mid-evacuation or pre-evacuation, gather your team and hide. Barricade doors, silence phones, and make yourselves as invisible as possible without hindering your movement or ability to fight. Seek cover & concealment.
If you need to fight, improvise weapons. Designate people to do individual tasks to disarm the shooter. Target the face with numerous weapons, have one person attack the weapon, and do your best to disable the weapon and disable the suspect. When you’ve got the weapon, separate the subject and the weapon, make the weapon safe and leave the building with your hands up.
Provide aide within your skill range to any outside the building.
