[NAGDU] active shooter training

[Cindy Ray]

The question was "What should I do with my dog during the training." It
would of course simulate what you would do with it if it was the real deal.
I don't think this is the list to discuss the theory of hiding from
shooters. That is off topic.

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.
