Coffee with Alain discussing active shooter response and the escape option of the Active Shooter Triangle.

The Active Shooter Triangle: Escape, Deny and Attack Back. The option you choose will be determined by you, your location, the location of the killer, and the environment.

Escape:

If you have an escape route and opportunity it is a good survival action. But if not, one of the other options may be better or necessary.

Escaping may be crawling, going out a window, etc. Not always running.

If you run, run straight, not zig zag.

Use cover and concealment as you are escaping.

Slice the pie and leap frog when appropriate.
