During a school lockdown, a teacher reports via intercom that a student is injured and bleeding heavily inside a locked classroom. What is the recommended action?

A bladed stance against a wall minimizes exposure while maintaining mobility and a clear line of sight.

Question 4

What is the purpose of the 'warm zone' established during an active shooter incident?
