Active shooter response refers to the actions taken by individuals and law enforcement during an incident involving an active shooter. The primary goal is to ensure personal safety and the safety of others. Individuals are encouraged to follow the “Run, Hide, Fight” protocol: evacuate if possible, find a secure hiding place, or confront the shooter as a last resort. Law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and local police, train to respond quickly and effectively to active shooter situations. They prioritize neutralizing the threat and rescuing victims. Community preparedness and awareness can significantly enhance safety during such emergencies.
