>> THE ACTIVE SHOOTER INCIDENT, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT ANYONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT, BUT IN ANY BUSINESS, ANY SCHOOL, ANYPLACE WHERE PEOPLE GATHER OR WORK.

>> MIKE JONES HERE FOR THE SECURITY MEETING.

>> WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY.

SO MANY PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE ACTIVE SHOOTER, WE SUGGEST MEASURES THROUGH WHAT IS CALLED CRIME REACTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN.

EVERYTHING FROM SECURITY CAMERAS TO ACCESS CONTROL, SWIPE CARDS AND LOCKED DOORS AND YOU HAVE A DESIGN OF A DOORWAY, WHICH ALLOWS FOR ANYONE -- A HOSTILE PERSON TO BE KEPT OUT.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS BEHIND YOUR DESK THAT YOU CAN HAVE.

STARTING WITH HEAVY GLASS DISH.

WHICH WHEN YOU'RE UNDER STRESS AND GOT THE ADRENALINE RUSH IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THAT.

ONE THING WE GIVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IS BUG SPRAY, THAT REACHES A SECOND FLOOR NEST OF A HOUSE, IT WILL NOT KILL A BETTER THAN BUT TAKE THEM OUT OF THE ACTION GIVING YOU TIME TO CALL FOR HELP.

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HOW 20 USE THOSE.

AND IT HURTS YOUR EYES.

WORRY -- YOU CAN'T EVEN HOLD YOUR GUN.

>> Amy: SO I HEAR SPOTS IN THE LOBBY, WHAT'S THE FIRST THING TO DO?

>> GO INTO SURVIVAL MODE, GO TO THE DOOR AND SHUT THE DOOR AND MAKE SURE IT'S LOCKED AND GET YOUR DOOR STOP OUT AND PUT IT ON THERE.

HOPEFULLY, YOU'VE TESTED IT AND IT WORKS, IF IT DOESN'T, YOU NEED TO USE THE BOLT THAT, HOPEFULLY, YOU'VE INSTALLED ON YOUR DOOR.

DO THOSE THINGS FIRST, WHEN YOU PUT THE BOLT SLIDE, YOU COME BY THE CONCRETE WALL AND WAIT IT OUT.

>> Amy: WHAT ABOUT THE WINDOWS, SHOULD I BREAK THE WINDOW?

>> BREAKING A WINDOW IS NOT AS EASY AS ANYONE THINGS, REMEMBER WHEN YOU BREAK THE GLASS, YOU'RE GOING TO ATTRACT ATTENTION BUT USUALLY THAT'S A LAST RESORT MEASURE.

>> WE'LL BE THERE IN 30 MINUTES.

>> I'M GOING TO START BY SHOWING YOU A FILM PRODUCED BY THE FBI AND IT'S A REENACTMENT OF WHAT A SHOOTER IN THE SCHOOL IS REALLY LIKE.

>> I LOVE YOU.

>> I TEACH THIS FROM THE ROLE OF A SURVIVOR, SOMETIMES PEOPLE WHEN THEY THINK OF A ACTIVE SHOOTER, THEY'RE GOING TO DIE.

NO, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE.

MOST OF THESE INCIDENTS LASTED FIVE TO EIGHT MINUTES AND THEN THEY'RE OVER.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THREE WORDS.

RUN, HIDE, AND FIGHT.

UNDER STRESS, UNDER PRESSURE, YOU RESORT BACK TO HOW YOU'RE TRAINED.

WHEN YOU TALK 2 OUT, YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GO AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO.

PART OF THE WAY YOU SURVIVE IS KEEP YOUR COOL.

WE'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, WE'VE TRAINED FOR THIS.

IF YOU CAN'T RUN, THE SHOOTER IS TOO CLOSE, HIDE.

NOW, HIDING MEANS TAKING THE LIGHT OFF YOUR PHONE.

AND ALSO SILENCING IT.

IF YOU CANNOT SILENCE YOUR PHONE RIGHT AWAY, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DO IT.

BECAUSE LIGHT AND SOUND ATTRACT PREDATORS.

IF SOMEONE WOULD BURST THROUGH THAT DOOR NOW WITH A GUN AND SOME OF YOU ARE GOING TO RUN THIS WAY AND THAT WAY, WHEN THE SHOOTER COMES IN, THE SHOOTER BELIEVES YOU'RE GOING TO SIT THERE AND DIE.

THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING YOU TO JUMP UP AND THROW THINGS AT THEM.

BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, DO SOMETHING.

THE LADY IN CALIFORNIA, CLEANING UP AT A CHURCH, AN ACTIVE SHOOTER CAME INTO THE CHURCH, SHE WAS IN A CONFERENCE ROOM THAT HAD A TABLE, AND A BUNCH OF TRASH BAGS.

SHE GOT IN THE BAGS, PULLED THE BAG OVER HER HEAD AND SAT VERY QUIETLY RIGHT BESIDE THE OTHER BAG OF TRASH.

THE PERSON CAME IN, LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND LEFT.

AND THE MORAL OF THAT STORY, WHATEVER WORKS FOR THE MOMENT.

>> WE'RE AWARE OF THE SITUATION.

>> ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TAKE-AWAYS IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND THEY HAVE PHONES IS YOU ESTABLISH A COMMUNICATION, EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE.

IT'S HARD TO TALK TO A 12-YEAR-OLD ABOUT GOING TO SCHOOL AND HAVING TO RUN TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

IT'S HARD TO SEE THE AFTERMATH FROM THIS.

>> WE EXPERIENCED AN UNTHINKABLE TRAGEDY AT OUR HIGH SCHOOL THIS MORNING.

>> WE'VE HAD 17 CONFIRMED VICTIMS.

>> WE CAN CONFIRM MULTIPLE FATAL FATALITIES.

>> BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE MASS SHOOTING IMAGES WHICH ARE UBIQUITOUS AND HARD TO GET AWAY FROM, CHILDREN ARE REALLY EXPERIENCING A HUGE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS COMING ACROSS THEIR VIEW.

SO THE EFFECT OF THESE CANNOT BE IGNORED ANY LONGER AND WE HAVE TO BE AS A SOCIETY, EDUCATORS AND OTHERS TO KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS THESE WITH CHILDREN.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS BECAUSE ONCE THE FEELINGS ARE OUT, THE PARENT KNOWS WHAT THE CHILD IS STRUGGLING W. DEVELOPMENTALLY IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR CHILD'S AGE IN MIND.

A YOUNG CHILD, YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOAD THEM WITH TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE SOPHISTICATION TO PROCESS THE INFORMATION LIKE ADULTS DO.

WITH A SCHOOL-AGED CHILD, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE KID KNOWS AND ONCE YOU'VE HEARD IT FROM THEM, CREATING THE INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT, AND HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND THERE ARE SAFE PLACES AND THESE ARE INCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED BUT THAT IS YOUR JOB IS TO REALLY KEEP THEM SAFE AND YOU'LL MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT TO DO SO.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN ANXIETY LEVELS.

CHILDREN REALLY LOOK AT PARENTS.

IF YOU'RE FALLING APART, THE CHILD IS MORE LIKELY TO FALL APART.

"AMERICAN IDOL," IF YOU'RE ABLE TO PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER AND KEEP THE HOUSEHOLD ROUTINES GOING AS THEY SHOULD BE, IT GIVES CHILDREN A GREET DEAL OF STRENGTH AND PATH TO FOLLOW, DESPITE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM.

AND VERY IMPORTANTLY, PARENTS NEED TO TRUCE THE EXPOSURE OF THE CHILD TO THE INFORMATION, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

BECAUSE THAT CAN PRODUCE TRAUMA.

A DIFFERENT KIND.

>> MOM!

>> OH, MY GOD!

>> PART AND PARCEL -- IT'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO ON, SUCH AS SURVIVAL GUILT WHERE YOU THINK, WHY WASN'T I TAKEN, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO MY FRIEND WHICH CAN DEVELOP INTO A DEPRESSION.

ANXIETY, ANY LOUD SOUND CAN KIND OF CATAPULT YOU INTO THAT PERIOD.

AND YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW IT AND CAN PRODUCE ANGER AND TAKES AN INSIGHTFUL PERSON TO READ THE TWO TOGETHER.

THERE'S FACTS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHIN THE REALM OF -- IT'S ALL THE POST-EVENTS THAT GO ON IN THE WAY OF TAKING CARE OF THE PHYSICAL INJURY BUT ALSO THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS WHICH COME OUT AS WHAT WE CALL POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.

>> AND THEY TOOK A DARK TURN.

>> I REMEMBER MY WORK AT THE VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING WHERE ONE OF THE MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS THAT THE GOVERNOR HAD IN A PANEL.

AND EVEN TODAY, I CAN RECALL TALKING TO -- THIS IS WHAT I RECALL.

IF YOU DON'T EXPERIENCE THIS BUT YOU VICARIOUSLY EXPERIENCE IT, THROUGH THE FEELINGS OF OTHERS, YOU CAN IMAGINE THE IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE SCENE.

AND IT HAD FAR REACHING PUBLIC HEALTH IMPLICATIONS.

>> IT'S STILL A RELATIVELY RARE SITUATION, IT HAS HIGH IMPACT BECAUSE IT INVOLVES OUR CHILDREN BUT THERE'S SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO AND THE VERY FIRST THING YOU CAN DO STARTS TODAY.

THINKING ABOUT THIS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO DEVELOP THAT PLAN NOW.

GET -- CALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, HEY, LOOK, WHAT SHOULD WE DO IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER AND YOU'RE THERE.

AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT WILL BEAT YOU, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU, BUT WHEN YOU GET THAT TEXT, MOM, DAD, I'M OK.
