Nine Lessons Learned from the Oikos College Shooting

Nine Lessons Learned from the Oikos College Shooting: "In any school shooting the victims have a range of possible responses to consider. In my research on school shootings, the most successful student responses (ranked best to worst) are as follows:

  1. Escape
  2. Lock down in a secured location
  3. Fight the attacker
  4. Hide
  5. Reason with the attacker
  6. Cry, beg, plead, or submit"
"

'Col. Dave Grossman says "If the shooter wanted a fight, he would have started shooting up the police station." The shooter doesn't want a fair fight. He wants a massive body count. In order to accomplish his goal, he will target a disarmed population like a school.

History shows that the single worst fear an active shooter has is effective resistance from police or armed citizens foiling his plans for notoriety. In nearly every past event, the shooter has either surrendered or killed himself as soon as he is faced with effective resistance.'
