Should we have to deviate even the slightes bit from what we are doing, whether it is getting gas or shoppring or having lunch with friends or family? No, we shouldn't.
If you find yourself in a situation where gunfire begins and you are inside a mall, hospital or any other building and are close to an exit, run out and as far and fast as you can. Do not worry about your belongings, just get out. If you are not near an exit, find the neares room and go in, lock and baracade the door and wait for law enforcement to arrive. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being where the shooter is, get down and get behind a table or desk or anything that could provide cover. If you need to turn them on their side, do so for better cover and stay low to the ground.
With regards to the night club shooting, the best thing to do is get behind anything that will provide cover and stay low. If you are near an exit and are not near the shooter, run out as far and fast as you can.
