The class, which will include videos and demonstrations, will cover the background science of how people behave in high stress events, past active shooter events including the mindset and profile of the shooter, how to survive an active shooter event and what to do when the police arrive.

The seminar is based on Advance Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT), a nationwide initiative for law enforcement officers responding to situations where an individual is shooting at people in a confined or populated area.

The 2-hour seminar is free and open to the public. People can ask follow-up questions about active shooter situations during a live-stream Q&A on Blab, a new app that allows people to watch and interact with seminar presenters, at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 2.

Mount Pisgah is located at 2850 Old Alabama Road in Johns Creek.
