'Run, hide, fight' has become a mantra for how to act during a mass shooting. Here's what it really involves

In an era where mass shootings are all too common,"run, hide, fight" has become a mantra. When faced with an active shooter, proponents say adults and students should try to escape the area or protect themselves. And as a last resort, they're advised to counter the gunman.

Whether they were acting on training or instinct, two students in the past two weeks chose the last option. Eighteen-year-old Kendrick Castillo lunged at a classmate who pulled out a gun at their suburban Denver school, while 21-year-old Riley Howell knocked a gunman off his feet at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.The heroic actions of both students cost them their lives.

No doubt these boys are absolute heroes. How sad that they problaby died in vain, as there is no intention whatsoever to do something about guncontrol in the USA.

Satan is working hard to detour anyone that might find Christ and salvation. But, don't give up. Jesus is the way, truth and life. He was therw at the beginning creating all things. There is NO other way to GOD and eternal life.

Funny ... it used to be Reading, Writing and Arithmetic .... until lawmakers went to bed with the NRA

These boys deserve more than the word heroes, not enough for their extreme actions for saving lifes.

Insane how a country is going to die on the hill holding an antiquated document to hide behind. The English are not invading your country anymore, it needs to be reworked. The constitution is killing the very country it established. Damn shame.

Jose Evis Quintana(father of shooter) is a twice deported illegal alien who was jailed for domestic violence against Maya/Alec McKinney’s mother and ‘menacing with a weapon.’ He has a history of drinking and drug problem.

False sense of Security in churches, business and schools, Buy more guns, run, hide, fight, to stop mass murder, is the refuge of fools. Breaking news is the rule not the exception, TV ratings galore, Wall to wall coverage, but when is the voting public going to say no more!

HEROES only thing that needs to be said .....

'Jesus wept.' -- John 11:35

Praying for the families especially on Mother’s Day. Blessings to them.

Some says there are too many guns We just need more safety. 1974 we had two guards at school Cant get rid of guns. That's what other countries would love. What keeps they from coming here? 322 million guns that Americans will use to protect what's ours.

If only there was some kind of law that could be put into place to help prevent so many of these kinds of shooting from happening in the first place 🤔 disgusting that our kids have to think about this in the first place

This is the kid of kid realDonaldTrump and his followers want to shoot

Such a sad commentary on modern schooling.

🤮

Do you remember the time when dead children were a sign something was very very wrong? Neither do I.

These two are braver than most politicians.

We have too many guns in America. Too many.

Maximum Security owner plans Kentucky Derby appeal, says disqualified horse won't run in PreaknessGary West appeared on NBC's 'Today' show Monday morning, two days after his horse Maximum Security was disqualified from the 2019 Kentucky Derby. It seems rather weird that THIS hasn't happened in the 144 previous Kentucky Derby races. If you’re going strictly by the rules then they made the right call. He clearly got out of his lane. Could have been very bad. Sad because he seemed to be the fastest horse. If realDonaldTrump is on his side, then there's something crooked going on with Maximum Security, or the owner. Investigate
