Does anybody else have a problem with this advice?
Jump up and down and draw attention to yourself to make sure you get shot.
Yeah that makes alot of sense to me.
And how much do we alot these icons of inscrutability within the federal budget?
What ever it is, it's to much that's for damned sure.

Active shooter situations develop so quickly without warning and commonly last less than 15 minutes so individuals "must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation" before law enforcement arrives, DHS says.

To take action against a shooter as a last resort and "only when your life is in imminent danger," DHS advises members of Congress and congressional staff to "attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter by acting as aggressively as possible, throwing items and improvising weapons, yelling and "committing to your actions."
