OSU is by no means encouraging anyone to fight an active shooter or any other attacker. But if you are trapped in the same room or area as the attacker and can’t escape, you can either sit there and wait to be killed or you can fight back. It’s really not a hard concept. Run from the area if you can, hide if you can’t run away or are in a lockdown, and if you can’t escape or hide then you fight, or die like a coward.

And OSU’s response to this was nearly perfect. They don’t know what is going on in the first minute or two but still got a message out to shelter in place. There’s always going to be confusion when an attacker lands in a highly-populated area. This response was textbook. Be grateful, it could’ve been a lot worse.
