INTRODUCTION

An active shooter is a person actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people. They typically act in populated areas and display no pattern or method for selection of their victims. Active shooter situations are dynamic and evolve rapidly, demanding immediate response by the community and immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to stop the shooting and prevent further harm to the community. 

 

POWERPOINT RESOURCES

 In the rare event of an active shooter on campus, your response will be dictated by the specific circumstances of the encounter.
