Acts of Violence: You Have No Time

Once the violence starts, it is too late to plan. Your options are limited. This is very simple. You either run or fight or hide.

Running. In Section 6.1, we’ll discuss Escape and Evasion (E&E) as an important habit to develop. For now, remember that distance is your friend. Making distance is more likely to make someone miss with a handgun than any fancy evasive maneuvers.

Be sure to run to a safe place. Knowing where the safe places are and the safe routes to them is where the E&E habit pays off.

The statistics on misses are encouraging. Most people miss most of the time, even at extremely close range.

What the Pros Are Doing:

With the exception of the predator, where it is very unlikely the professionals have any idea you are in trouble, the police will respond to a hostage situation by:

• Evacuating the nearby area.

• Setting up an inner and outer perimeter.

• Preparing a tactical plan.

• Gathering intelligence on the layout, the threat and the hostages.

• Establishing or attempting to establish contact with the threat.

What YOU should do if the tactical team makes an entry:

• Hit the floor face first and cover the back of your neck with your interlaced fingers (so that they can see your hands as well as offering some protection).

• Follow all orders.

• Keep your hands visible.

• Expect to be treated like a threat—handcuffed, searched, and segregated—until the police have sorted out who is who and what is what.
