Do you trust your coworkers not to shoot you, thinking you may be the one on an rampage?

I'm on a hall way with only one entrance (which is to the main hallway). Depending on where the shots are in the building I'd try to make a break for it or unplug the computer, turn off the light, and hide behind the open door in hopes the shooter thinks the room isn't occupied by anyone.

Activate my stealth mode and try to escape in the opposite direction. Only other thing to do if trapped is to hide behind a door or doorway and wait for the shooter to enter. Then just try to grab the gun barrel if rifle is being used or jump the guy if a handgun is being used. C’est l’avi I guess.

I'd be the likely target, so I better be quick on the draw, but since I don't have a gun, I'm probably fricked. They won't get many shots off, though, because half the guys around here carry.

Shelter in place is not and should not be protocol. It's waiting to be shot. Run, hide, fight is the way to do it. Only hide of your seen or in close proximity to the shooter and only fight if your in direct contact with them and there's no other choice.

Run for vehicle (where id be armed.) Or run for the border (Taco Bell nearest by), whichever direction is open.

I work from home, so I'd be pretty fricked if I had a mass shooting at my work.

Gun in the desk, but there's only one way out and if it's blocked I'm going out the window from 2nd floor to the concrete

Bucket of acid. I have gallons of concentrated HNO3, HCl, and HF in our storeroom. Take the perp around a corner with a bucket of acid and he'll be out of commission.

Using my world-class athleticism to dodge the bullets, I'd punch the perp square in the dick saving everyone.

I know the expert advice is to shelter in place,


I hope you are trolling. An active shooter is not a damn tornado. The first thing you do is GTFO if you can find a safe way. If no safe way out then you hide and lock the door or barricade it. If door won’t lock, barricade it or find another way to secure it.


If the shooter makes it to where you are and you don’t have anywhere else to go, you have to find a way to ambush / fight him.

On the 11th floor....

Um, make it to one of the two stairwell’s hopefully. If not, fight and/or die

I probably sit in one of the worst parts of my building in a shooter scenario, which has its pros and cons. The shooting would more than likely start a ways from me giving me time to act, but I have no quick and easy exit.

I’d probably break the windows close to me and jump. More than likely would break a few bones from the jump, but I could stumble/crawl to safety.

No guns allowed in the building, so it's likely to the vault.

then obviously you don't have to worry about a mass shooter attack in building.
