All I'm saying is that there is nothing to fight with unless they have concealed weapons, which I'm certain are illegal on campus.
You can still fight back and survive, even against a gun.

And even if they were legal, many people wouldn't be carrying so the "run, hide, fight" would still be valid

My question stands: fight with what?!?!
Desks, chairs, fists, book bags etc.

scratch, bite, punch, kick, etc

Should they just not do anything they can, even if the odds are stacked against them?


Never bring a book bag to a gun fight.

Ok, now I'm getting some more realistic options. Somehow, throwing chairs at someone who has a firearm seems absolutely comical, in a chilling way.

Now they say the shooter is dead

A suspect is dead and at least nine injured about an hour after an active shooter situation was reported at Ohio State University. Just before 10am, the university issued a warning telling students at the school's Columbus campus to shelter in place. The first reports of gunshots came from Watts Hall, which is home to the school's Materials Science and Engineering program. Since then though, the focus of law enforcement presence on the campus has been on a nearby parking garage, where the shooter or shooters are believed to be hiding. Police stormed the garage just before 11am and minutes later they confirmed that one suspect was dead. Two men, one black and one white, were also brought out of the building in handcuffs. It's unclear if there are more suspects and the campus remains on lock down.

That's right.

Everyone needs to relegate all personal responsibility for their own safety to the proper authorities.

You miss my point. There should be an armed response to the shooter well before you have time to take advice from a tweet. Cops are stationed across every campus these days.

Obviously if you are in the area of the initial shots fight for your life

Where are the cops posted on campus? They should be on scene within 1 minute of hearing shots echo across campus

what?!?! How's that? What's the point of having a concealed weapon if you can't protect yourself in a very real situation?

You are looking at this wrong.

If someone with a gun walks up to you and tries to shoot you, do whatever you can to stay alive. That's all they are saying. They aren't saying to walk up and tie their shoes together. Just survive.

I would think that's basic survival instinct. I don't think I would need instructions on doing that. Perhaps some do!

So they should just refrain from listing the survival techniques in their alert?

Fight with what
If you have kids teach them how to improvise a weapon. And how to attack your target. A few pieces of paper and a nail file and your daughter has a nice little shiv to go for the eyes with.

It's not much to be sure but even a little training might help save their life.
