After last week's shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., the city of Houston has released a how-to video on surviving a shooter event.
The video was created with funds from the Homeland Security Department.

"I can't imagine the horror and grief. If it is at all possible for any good to come out of it, perhaps it can be letting people know the options to consider if it happens again," said Mayor Annise Parker in a statement.

Entitled "Run, Hide, Fight," the video depicts a fictional shooting incident at an office building.

"It may feel like just another day at the office, but occasionally life feels more like an action movie than reality," says a narrator.

The City of Houston's website offers these tips:

Run if a safe path is available. Always try and escape or evacuate even if others insist on staying.
Encourage others to leave with you but don't let the indecision of others slow down your own effort to escape.
Once you are out of the line of fire, try to prevent others from walking into the danger zone and call 9-1-1.
If you can't get out safely, find a place to hide.
When hiding, turn out lights, remember to lock doors and silence your ringer and vibration mode on your cell phone As a last resort, working together or alone, act with aggression, use improvised weapons and fight.
Houston's Public Safety Office said it had started working on the video before the theater shooting, reports the ABC station in Houston.

You are a law-abiding citizen in a gun free zone you are now just a fish in a barrow waiting to be shoot. You might just have the people file into a shower chamber.

You Little Baby WHAAA WHAAA WHAAA all that you can do in name calling. WHAAA WHAAA WHAAA You have nothing to back up your point. WHAAA WHAAA WHAAA the facts are against you. WHAAA WHAAA WHAAA You cannot make a coherent argument. When you grow up and are out on your own you will understand that you have to become an adult some time.

You're all idiots.

maybe this is more clear

Gun Free Zones signs to now read "Target Rich Environment and no one will shoot back at you Zone" Good advert for criminals/crazies but not so good for the people in those zones as we found out in CO, and Newport. The shower chambers that I was referring to are the ones at Auschwitz, Chełmno, Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor and Treblinka. When the German people put in gun control in the 1920's they had no clue what the Nazis would later do with it.

It'd be hard to shoot a fish in a "barrow".

it'd be flopping around and jumping an such.

unless the wheelbarrow was filled with water, perhaps.

or did you mean a "barrel"

full of water?

but I don't think they have wheelbarrows or barrels at most workplaces.

nor do they have shower chambers

plus, if they did, i don't think they'd be co-ed shower chambers.

so you'd have to categorize them by gender, into two separate shower chambers.

your living in a pipe dream,just remember,where there is a world there is a weapon..just because you ban guns doesn't make them all go away and never will...remember this,it doesn't take a person with a collection of fire arms to murder people,it takes only one criminal with a gun to do that.by the way all of the past mass shootings were a hoax,a false flag staged event..there is no proof what so ever other wise.this is all about gun control so they can control you and nothing more.

And if we had no weapons in the first place in public hands wouldn't it make sense that there would be no shooter? It's obvious, don't make other people pay with their lives just so some other people can live happily with a big collection of firearms.
