6. WHAT IS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER??
An Active Shooter is a person(s) who is immediately causing death and/or serious bodily injury. This isn’t exclusive to somebody with a firearm. This could be accomplished with a knife, or a bat, or with other weapons. It is for this reason that we refer to such a person(s) as an Active Shooter/Violent Intruder.

7. U.S. Department of Homeland Security International Association of Chiefs of Police U.S. Department of Justice Adopted the “3 Outs Program” Get out Hide out Take out

8. The “3 Outs Program” is a copy of ALICE, but does not address the critical step of Inform. Without critical information getting to the people in danger, an informed decision is difficult to make.

DATA FROM CHAPTER 8, VIRGINIA GOVERNOR’S REPORT ON VIRGINIA TECH

15. 28 died using standard passive lockdown 2 died using barricading and evacuation
Kristen

16. What is the change from the current safety plan??
The choice to evacuate is not the sole choice of an Administrator or School Resource Officer.
Students are involved in the process.
Exiting is not necessarily done in an orderly fashion.
Classroom doors should be locked at all times. It takes more time to lock the doors than it does to break into them.
Exiting does not necessarily mean through a door.
