In light of the concerns raised during the recent ISU Emergency Alert, we are providing a link to the following information in the event of a true active shooter situation. However, remember there is a difference between a report of an armed subject and an active shooter.
Options for Consideration demonstrates possible actions to take if confronted with a active shooter scenario. The instructive video reviews the choices of evacuating, hiding, or, as an option of last resort, challenging the shooter. The video also shows how to assist authorities once law enforcement enters the scene.
