Dating back to 1966 at the University of Texas we have seen senseless and tragic loss of life due to deranged individuals. In our current world which is filled with disaster it is prudent to know what to expect and what to do should you find yourself in the face of an active shooter. Some of the high points that will be discussed will include:

* A historic overview of Active Shooting in America.
* Active Shooter profile
* Police response
* Run, Hide, Fight
* Priority of Life Scale
