1. 如果你 are in class or on campus, and you think you hear gunshots or other weapons 在附近，要么出去要么躲起来.
2. If a shooter is close, it might be dangerous to evacuate, so it’s best to find a hiding place—if you are in an office or classroom, stay there and secure the door. 如果你 are in a hallway, get into a room and lock, even block, the door. 试着找个地方 in the room that keeps you out of sight. Also, heavy furniture or walls might help protect you from bullets, so these are best to hide behind—as long as you’re not trapped. 如果你 have someone else with you, it’s tempting to hide with that person, but it’s best to make a plan together and then separate to different areas of the room.
3. 请尽快拨打911—even if you are afraid to speak, you can leave the line open, and operators will have the chance to hear the events or locate the call.
   • 如果你 can speak safely to the operator, here’s what to say:
   • The building, room number, or area of the active shooter, and whether there are multiple 射击游戏.
   • Did you see what he or she looks like or what kind of weapon was used? 试着描述 人和武器.
   • 房间或区域拥挤吗? Try to report how many other people were in the area, so we can prepare to evacuate and protect them as well as you.
4. Other than calling 911, you’ll want to attract as little attention to yourself as possible, so silence your music media and turn off televisions or other noisy devices.
5. But what if the shooter enters the room? 你可以为自己辩护. 虽然它的 best to stay hidden for as long as you can, if you feel exposed or targeted, it’s okay to fight back—throw things at the shooter; yell at them and yell for help; improvise weapons out of heavy or sharp items in the room; and no matter what, commit to your 行动. 如果你 move to attack the attacker, follow through with all your strength 和勇气. We will arrive very soon to help you and protect you.

What will emergency service personnel do upon arrival?

我们会设法阻止枪手. This is most important, even before we help the injured, 所以没有更多的伤病.

For us to stop the shooter, we need to know who he or she is. 如果你两手空空， immediately raise and spread your fingers, and avoid quick movements after that, we’ll know that you are not threatening anyone. Then, as frightened as you may be, do your best to let us assess the situation and to follow our instructions without asking questions that might slow the evacuation.

Is there any way to prevent a school shooting?

While we can’t prevent all shootings or violent acts, there are sometimes “red flags”—indicators that something should be recognized and taken seriously. 例如，一个朋友可能会 start or increase his drug or alcohol use or he might stop bathing. 或者是同学 gets intensely emotional in class, but starts laughing hysterically afterward. No one quality is a perfect indicator of potential violence, but being aware of some of these—and letting us decide how to respond—might prevent the person from escalating 暴力. 如果你 do notice any of the following qualities or behaviors in a person on or near campus, be sure to call us at PCC 警察 and 安全 服务 (626) 585-7484.
