Like several other universities and schools, Florida State University has adopted the “Run, Hide, Fight” protocol for responding to an active shooter situation.

➤ FSU students shelter in place: What to know about FSU’s active shooter policy

Run: 

• Have an escape route and plan in mind.
• Leave your belongings behind.
• Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.
• Help others escape, if possible.
• Do not attempt to move the wounded.
• Prevent others from entering an area where the active shooter may be. 
• Keep your hands visible.
• Call 9-1-1 when you are safe 

Hide:

• Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view.
• Lock door and block entry to your hiding place.
• Silence your cell phone (including vibrate mode) and remain quiet.

Fight:

• Fight as a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger.
• Attempt to incapacitate the shooter.
• Act with as much physical aggression as possible.
• Improvise weapons or throw items at the active shooter.
• Commit to your actions. Your life depends on it.
• The first officers to arrive on scene will not stop to help the injured.
• Expect rescue teams to follow initial officers.
• These rescue teams will treat and remove injured.
• Once you have reached a safe location, you will likely be held in that area by law enforcement until the situation is under control and all witnesses have been identified and questioned.
• Do not leave the area until law enforcement authorities have instructed you to do so.
