In an Active Shooter incident involving firearms you should immediately lay on the ground?

In an active shooter incident, laying on the ground can help reduce your visibility to the shooter and make it harder for them to target you. This position also allows you to remain as still and quiet as possible, which can be crucial for your safety. However, it's important to assess your surroundings; if there’s a safe escape route available, it may be more beneficial to evacuate rather than remain in one place. Always prioritize finding a secure location or an exit when it is safe to do so.
