[NAGDU] active shooter training

[Keri Svendsen]

Hiding under a desk is the worst thing.

If there is a shooter situation you are supposed to get out via door or 
window as quick as possible. hiding under a desk makes you an easy 
target. It is harder to hit a moving target. If a shooter breaks into a 
room you can throw things at them too to distract them to get out. I can 
send some useful information to you guys.
