What to Do in an Active Shooter Situation

[woodyz]

Something has been nagging me about this subject and I couldn't figure it out

Then I had a dream last night and I am in a mall somewhere

hear what I know are gunshots and move toward where all the people are running from

so here is a guy in dark clothes hiding behind one of those fake columns they have in malls and he is pointing a gun back toward the center of activity

So in the dream I get closer and see him shoot toward one of the stores

I rush in shoot twice to the back of his head

kick his gun away and roll him over

and it's me (it happens in my dreams time to time, they even have a name for it, but it escapes me)

And that is what has been bugging me in the back of my mind

"we" want more people to become/develop into sheepdogs

but our army of sheepdogs look as much like a wolf as an undercover/off duty LEO

Who is who in this gunfight?

It's another wrinkle in this shoot or don't shoot decision process

and i don't know how to "coach" for it

[sirderrin]

I don't think you can coach for that woodyz beyond helping folks understand how to make a decision based on the information avaible... sometimes that decision might be simply not to shoot until you develop more information no matter what you "think" you see at first blush...

[woodyz]

The situation in the "dream" more than likely would not be something I would really do, Not with the information I had

I would need eyes on what he was shooting at I would think. But the problem of when do you have enough information to flip the switch

As far as trying to provide input maybe I can

As I have said before in one of cw5 posts I "see" an aurora/glow around some people. The color of that glow as well as the way the air moves around the person is how I find the bad guy before he finds me.

sounds like science fiction but its been that way all my life, cw5 got me to try and explain it and that's how i explain it

first i was aware of it was small game hunting. birds, rabbits, etc have currents of air just like fish in the water these channels in the air move with the subject, I knew by watching the waves which way the bird was going to turn before it turned, all by the air moving. Colors related to the sheep/predatory theme. Death is black. A shark or a hawk will be bright in shades of dark. Sheep are muted/dull/washed out color

something like a clay pigeon does not have an aurora of any color, but it does make currents in the air.

At first I thought everyone saw like this, but when I said something about it when I was young the feed back had be thinking I was crazy

I stopped talking about it until it came up with a post on here.

SO lets look at this guy in the example

he is behind a column with a gun, the air flows around him like it would a boat, they move together one don't fight the other if it the guy is stopped The color around him is a dark color (other that black/red/brown and bright he is less than a predator/wolf but more than a sheep

so he is a good guy

if he was a bad guy the air currents would be moving around him, not with him, avoiding him like a school of fish avoid a shark in water if his color is bright but a dark color brown/red/black he is a wolf

I can't teach that or coach it 99.99% can't see the color or the current

but I can't tell the court I walked up to a guy with a gun and his aurora was dark red so I shot him, would not work

The only 'positive' that would come out in court is instead of prison, they'd declare you not mentally fit.
I wonder if someone has ever done a study on this. It's remarkable.

[geron]

Telling the good guy from the bad guy has always been a concern of mine. Did the good guy just take the gun away from the bad guy? Or was it the other way around. Tough!

It is indeed weird

Almost everyone has seen movies where a school of fish swim in a bunch but maintain a space between the next fish.

When the school comes upon another different kind of fish they open up a hole and avoid the other fish

much like you would move to the edge of a sidewalk when someone else passes you

that same school, instead of opening a path for another fish will (as a whole) move around a predator like a shark

99.9% of the time the shark does not pose a danger to the fish, yet the fish instinctively avoid it

they don't want to occupy the space of the predator

so imagine if you can that you can see the flow each of those individuals create in the water

living things create that same flow or movement in/of the air, if a bird turns in its flight it creates a "disturbance" in that flow

imagine that if you could see that flow you could react to the turn without/before the turn happening

some fighter pilots like Chuck Yeager have stated that they were able to avoid or shoot down other aircraft because they knew where it was going to be before it went there

attributed to experience but described as the flow

Yeager, as a test pilot, said he flew in the least of the stream to get the best speed

Now the next time you have an opportunity to observe a crowd of people from above watch them move as a crowd or "school"

keeping out of the next guys space and opening a hole to allow someone outside of the flow to pass

Also, if things happen once in awhile you will see the crowd avoid the space occupied by a specific individual, not opening a passage through the flow but occupying a different flow and mostly unaware they are doing so because the flow they are in moves away from the other

the individual avoided is a predator/shark

the sheep don't know its a shark but their flow does, just like the fish

now add different colors to the mix

soft weak/thin colors and bright dark colors all moving in their flow

maybe that's why I hate crowds

it gets very confusing to pick out individuals unless the individual is in an individual flow and has the darkest color

yeah

sounds crazy to me too

most of my dreams are in black and white

I don't see colors or flows in dreams

with the exception of when I dream in color and then I don't see aura colors

but I am always dark gray or black when I see me in a dream

[woodyz]

In re-reading about this insanity I find I have left out a very important fact

Simply determining the bad guys from the good guys has nothing to do with the color of their aura or the fact they have an individual flow

Those only identify them as predators or sharks

But being a predator/shark can also make you/them a sheepdog and not necessarily a wolf

A wolf tends to be black/gray/brown/red, where a sheepdog will be white/silver/blue/green, but purple/orange/pink/yellow or sometimes rainbow colors may either be a wolf or a sheepdog who may not know what they are supposed to be

I like to think I am a good guy and I have a predator/shark aura of a sheepdog (a long in the tooth one best)

So if you learn to or discover you can see these weird things

its important to remember that fact

I will say its one of the reasons I prefer an open top style holster

When spotting a predator I will the position of my safety although I carry either cocked and locked or un-cocked

and if I find a safety on it gets taken off until the threat is gone

I wish I could find that previous post but I can't

know where the exits are

passengers have died waiting to exit burning planes because they followed the crowd instead of going to their nearest exit.

Free your mind

One of the most important things you can do is to keep your mind open to possibilities. Nothing kills people faster than freezing up. Be aware of the risks and their solutions. If things go south, don’t get stuck on the tracks with Plan A.
