Shock, concern over text that encouraged MSU students to ‘Run, Hide, Fight’

The primary advice — similar to official government guidance in other Western countries — is that those caught up in a shooting should attempt to flee the scene if possible, or otherwise find a safe place to hide. But a key difference is the advice to confront an attacker.

“When the shooter is at close range and you cannot flee, your chance of survival is much greater if you try to incapacitate him/her,” the Department of Homeland Security says.Those who confront an active shooter should “recruit others to ambush the attacker with makeshift weapons,” advisesguidance to schools

to help them develop emergency plans, DHS says that adults should consider “aggressive force and items in their environment” to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter, but should never be required to confront them. This is a different approach than in Britain, for example, where police guidance released after the deadly 2015 Paris attacks

Oh, the standard active shooter stuff I've been taught at two jobs to keep in mind.

I HATE how conservatives are replying that receiving texts about running and fighting during an active shooter situation, is perfectly normal. Fucking weirdos. All this death, just so conservatives can continue being scared of everything while clutching their guns

Fight, don't run! Oh yeah, I forgot, thanks to the gun haters they are not allowed to defend themselves.

I bet the “fight” part of the warning really triggered “officials”……

Fight or flight response is a real thing. This doesn’t feel controversial at all.

Shock over standard active shooter training? Run if you can! Hide if you can’t! Fight if you can’t!

this is the best America has to offer our children. Those little gun pins mark you as a shooter.

Yeah lets focus on angry parents over a text instead of what actually happened there and why it happened. You people really suck

That phrase is what has been used for years in active shooter training courses.

Because this message might scare the kids? Shocked parents live in bubble.

Republicans love and protect guns more than they love and protect people.

'Run, hide, fight': Some MSU students critical of text message from school during shootingThe 'run, hide and fight' tactic was used at Michigan State during the mass shooting, and is the active school shooter strategy across Illinois. Active shooter drills are traumatic and need to be banned. When you get on a plane, you don’t have to practice what to do if the cabin depressurizes. You trust the flight attendants. Give teachers the same respect and stop having kids prepare to be murdered by their peers.
