I have the figure from somewhere that 1 out of 6 undercover cops have been drawn on by fellow officers.
Where to run to: every store has at least one emergency exit in addition to the front door. Run in a store, head to the back. The fire exit may be alarmed, but that's OK. I'd feel a lot better running through the parking lot than being in the mall with a shooter.
Thing is, no matter what scenario we run through our minds, it most likely won't go as we envision it.
Re malls, the stores do not stock from the customer entrances. They all have back doors, and often storerooms, behind the showroom.
From that highschool shooting referenced..The shooter fired 8 rounds and killed three and wounded five. All of the victims were moving
And no matter who you talk to – the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA or the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office – the basic message is the same: Run, hide, or -- as a last resort -- fight.
* If you can't run or hide, take action: As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the shooter.

Glad you emailed me. I have no reason to believe this story is inaccurate or dramatized.
