A new video by the University of Waterloo, developed in partnership with the University of Alberta, encourages people to “get out, hide, or fight if an active shooter enters campus,” reports CBC. While many institutions go into lockdown in the case of a potential or actual armed intruder threat, Dave Gerencser of the uWaterloo Police Service explains that a traditional lockdown procedure may be better advice for a single building: “That’s not the case, obviously, at many university and college campuses and certainly not the case for the University of Waterloo, in terms of the environment that were dealing with.” Gerencser further states that this new advice was developed by a coalition of universities and authorities in Alberta.
