11. Leaving a secured area:

• Consider risks before leaving.
• Remember, the shooter is looking for 'targets of opportunity' and generally will need to be stopped by an outside force.
• Do not evacuate rooms or buildings unless told to do so by Building Monitor or police officer, or unless it is absolutely clear and safe to do so.
• Rescue attempts should only be tried if they can be accomplished without endangering lives. When in doubt, shelter in place and wait for instructions from emergency personnel
