Are you prepared?
You never know when you are going to be put in a dangerous situation, and the amount of active shooter situations have sadly increased in the past few years.
The UTSA Police Department has put together a video that was filmed right here on campus. The video is called Choose To Live, and it educates the viewer about the steps needed to be taken if you are placed in the situation.
If you are ever in an active shooter situation, remember these three words:
- Avoid
- Deny
- Defend
Avoid the situation and get out if you can. Try to stay calm, think smart, and don’t hesitate.
Deny the shooter entry to your room if you can. Lock and barricade doors, turn off lights, and silence cell phones.
If you cannot leave your location, Defend yourself, because there is power in numbers. Improvise with objects in the room to make weapons.
