Video: Tips For Surviving An Active Shooter Situation

Check out the video at the bottom of this post for tips on surviving an active shooter situation.

With mass shootings making the news all too often, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco wants to arm residents with advice that might save lives should they ever encounter an active shooter.

To that end, the sheriff’s office recently shared a video on its YouTube channel that was produced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Titled “Run, Hide, Fight,” the video offers tips for surviving such an event, including putting a plan in place beforehand.

“If you can get out, do,” the video advises. “Encourage others to leave with you.”

In a brief introduction to the video, Nocco assures residents the sheriff’s office works to prevent such situations from happening within the county, but notes that is not always possible.
