When an active shooter is in your vicinity, we all know time is very essential. Writing down full words on any piece of paper to try to tell dispatchers your exact location when an active shooter incident is happening nearby before the police or other authorities arrive not only can be a waste of time - it can also be the difference between you living through this very scary situation - or you being shot and.or killed!
From Laurie Dann - to Eric Klebold - from Winnetka, IL to Littleton, CO - active shooting incidents make us wonder what we need to do so we can survive the next active shooting event.
With all of this in my mind, I am trying to make my own shorthand that you can use when jotting down information on the active shooter or shooters on paper to emergency dispatchers. This will be revised as much as possible so that anyone inside any building - not just schools - can use so they can save lives of themselves and others.
The shorthand I am trying make up focuses on four main parameters........
