Run Hide Fight is basically the "stop drop and roll" of active shooter situations.

They're locked down and most likely aren't being allowed to use their phones. Haven't heard back from mother or brother either.

I've heard it was a murder-suicide. Can't confirm though

I did. My question was more to subtly encourage OP to provide a little more background in his OP.

Guess it didn't work.

Trying to make myself feel better for why they haven't texted back.

A friend of mine is there and is okay, but it's definitely real world and not an exercise.

This is in Huntsville, AL if you're not familiar with the titled name of every U.S. Army post in the country.

I'm sure there is just a ton of overloaded lines.

Heard back from both of them. Brother was in "all hands".

Not sure if still "active shooter" but the base is still locked down as of 11:10.

In close contact with a buddy on base. Not over. No information. Rumors are it may be more than one building. Also there was supposed to be a shooter drill sometime this week. Crazy timing or diabolical planning.

Yes there was supposed to be a drill tomorrow. Nobody knew if it was for real when it started

Nobody- I mean the people I know there. These are folks at the building where the situation is happening. Sparkman is a large complex with multiple buildings.

BIL on lockdown. He said it is contained to one building (not his) but may be old info.

Not when you understand what it means.

They teach us there are 3 ways to survive this situation.

If you are capable and away from the shooter, run, get out.

If you are not able to escape, hide, lock yourself in an office close the windows, make no noise.

If neither of those options are possible, fight, if someone is going to kill you, they are going to do it anyways, find a weapon and end the confrontation if you have no other choices for survival.
