An Active Shooter is a person who appears to be actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Active Shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly, which demands immediate involvement of law enforcement resources to stop the killing and minimize harm to innocent victims. Try to be aware of your environment and know your exit plan wherever you are.
If you think an active shooter is on campus immediately call (415) 239-3200 or dial 911. Once you call:
- Remain calm and answer the dispatcher's questions.
- If safe to do so, try to get a good description of the person shooting. Note height, weight, gender, race, age, clothing, type of weapon, the direction they travel, and their name, if known.
- If you think the shooter uses a vehicle, note the license plate, make, model, color, and any other characteristics.
The best practices for an active shooter event are to RUN! HIDE! FIGHT!
