I honestly think I'm just going to play dead. How often has shooter shot people laying on the ground?

I feel like I can hold my breath pretty well.

The primary thing, I assume, is to get extremely lucky and not have the shooter anywhere in your immediate vicinity?

The major thing they talk about is acting quickly. It also deals with the authorities and their plans to deal with active shooters. We have had training on active shooter scenarios at work. I assume many people have these days. But the problem is that often times the people in charge don't really have a good plan to deal with these things.

This is the right answer. I don't fault people for wanting to think about this kind of stuff, but the reality is that dying from an active shooter is an incredibly unlikely way for people to die.

I'd have to look up stats to be sure, but I'd be pretty confident you'd be more likely to die from an accidental gun discharge than from an active shooter.

So, yeah. You're at least 4x as likely to die from an accident than from a mass shooter.

Following up on my own post, this source says there were 458 accidental gun deaths in the U.S. in 2018. In 2017 (the year of the Las Vegas shooting), there were 117 fatalities from mass shootings in the U.S. according to this source.
