Oh trust me I would run....unfortunately I had 3kids under 5 in tow....the best I could do was hip 2 of them and make my 5 yr old hang on to my shirt as we walked as fast as we could. The look on his face as my normal " get in the car" turned into " GET INTO THE CAR RIGHT NOW-NOW!!!!"....horrid.

When you walk, make sure you don't walk in a straight line. Zig zag. Don't park in an exposed place in a parking lot. He seems to be shooting people who are alone, so move in a group, if you can. Always be aware of your surroundings.

I'm sure others can think up more ways to keep you safe. Because he (or they) are sniping & hidden, you probably won't see him.

It sounds like school officials aren't adapting to this type of threat in a very intelligent manner. Keeping cars away from the building makes sense if you are protecting against a bombing, but it make no sense to make people cross an extra distance of open ground when the threat is a sniper. They are probably defaulting to their standard procedures for "terrorist threat". I hope that some parents point that out to them.
