Nestel explained that there's safety in numbers—if you're really stuck in a terrible situation, your best bet is to defend your safe space if at all possible. Coordinate your defense and try to keep everyone calm and alert. Whatever you do, don't emerge from your safe space until the danger has passed and safety comes to find you—not the other way around.
Finally, if getting away from danger or getting to a safe space aren't options, you may need to fight for your life. It should be an absolute last resort. Remember, violence like shootings or stabbings are disorganized, terrifying, and full of panicking, frightened people. Like we mentioned, the threat may not be clear, you may have no way to fight back, and you don't know who or what you're up against. Worst of all, there's no way for you to properly gauge the threat unless you've been trained to do so.
If you're in a safe space that's no longer safe, or you have some protection in numbers, try to coordinate with others to protect the group. We hear about this all the time when passengers on a plane rally together to strap down an unruly passenger. Grab whatever you can, and protect yourself if it comes down to it:
