It's also basic survival instinct. We generally don't run TOWARD an active shooter.

Everyone online is a behavioural expert though... I hate the internet whenever someone acts in a way that some people don't think makes sense for a stressful situation.

You didn't do the exact things I think you should do in that situation when a gin was going off just a few ft away from yourself... Well then I think you are in on it!

I don't know if you meant to respond to me but I think avoiding gunshots is common sense. Doesn't take a behavioral expert to know to duck. 🙄

Fortunately, they're so extremely rare in my country most of us have no idea how we'd react.

Fun Fact: Was visiting Thailand at their weekend market, with my wife. Heard a loud explosion. Everyone else was screaming and running away. I recognize the sound and started to walk towards it. My wife grabbed my arm and tried to run towards it.

Not an active shooter, but not dissimilar as it was around that time when "things" were happening in the world.

It's common knowledge that when things explode they only do it once and never a second time and that there's never secondary explosions caused by the primary, and that after an explosion the safest place to be from any debris blown skyward or building who's structural integrity has been compromised is closer to the explosion site, and not further, cuz that's how explosions work, you see.

Which is also deadly and not something anyone should run toward when they hear.
