You have just finished The Active Shooter online training course. You review the references and make a note to start preparations in the near future. You overhear a conversation a disgruntled employee is having with a fellow co-worker. They sound very negative and borderline threatening at times. You do not really think anything of it until you hear one man mention taking "drastic measures" to stick it to the Command. You consider your next move. Should you tell your supervisor about this conversation?

Yes, while it may not appear like a threatening situation, the supervisor should be made aware of the conversation.

You decide to tell your supervisor about the conversation. She tells you that she will take the conversation into consideration and talk with someone in Human Resources.

You hear gun shots followed by screaming and yelling coming from down the hall. With shots fired and people screaming, you recognize you have an Active Shooter situation and you must respond now and quickly. What is your initial response?

Evacuate. Directly exit the building immediately.

You have found the nearest stairwell and have started your exit. As you pass the third floor, you encounter a fellow co-worker who has sprained her ankle in an attempt to flee. Noting that your co-worker will have a difficult time using the stairs, you realize you must take action. What do you do?

Help your co-worker. You decide to help her to safety.

You and your co-worker are almost to the bottom of the staircase. You see the exit at the far end of the hall. You decide to head towards the exit; however, you look out the window and notice the Active Shooters are outside and moving toward the building. You are forced to stay inside and have to act fast to determine your next move.

You decide to find a room to hide in and barricade yourselves in until Law Enforcement Officers arrive. You then call 911 and give what information you can about the shooter.

You hide with your injured co-worker in a nearby lab. Suddenly you hear shots ring out and several people yelling. The door bursts open and several members of the SWAT team stand in the doorway. Now that help has arrived, what do you do?

Immediately freeze, keep your hands visible, make no sudden movements, and wait for the instructions from the police.

You have reached the evacuation assembly area and handed off your injured co-worker to some EMTs who are treating injured victims. After some time, you receive word that the shooters have been stopped and they are no longer threats on the base. The nightmare has come to and end. What do you do next?

You approach the law enforcement officers and give them information regarding the shooting. You wait on the premises until they release you.
