How to Survive a Mass Shooting: What to do in an Active Shooter Situation

Last Updated: November 2, 2019 By Cheeky Team Member

Mass shootings and events involving active and armed shooters are uncommon, but one should know how to react to one, just in case such an event were to happen. One should learn how to fight both defensively and with a gun, always be aware of possible routes of evacuation, and should be able to recognize the sound of gunfire. Placing yourself in situations and locations that are relatively safer is key to being ready. If a shooting happens, one’s priorities should be in the following order: evacuate, hide, and fight if necessary. One should seek a safe location and should be highly vigilant.

Key Takeaways:

  • Knowing your environment is one of the most important safety precautions you can take in any situation.
  • Upon entering any new area, the first thing you want to do is look for every possible escape route and exit that you can find.
  • If a situation seems odd, if something seems out of place, or your gut tells you something isn’t right, listen to your instincts and don’t wait around to find out what happened.

“mass shooting and mob attacks do happen, and they are something that we need to be prepared to respond to.”
