Oneida, WI (WTAQ) – Business leaders gather in Oneida Thursday to talk about preparation for the unthinkable….an active shooter situation.
Capt. Dan Sandberg of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office has made it his mission to make sure this group knows what to do if they’re in that kind of scenario.
“One of the first things you always hear when people interview victims or people who live in those areas when an active shooter event occurs is it would never happen, could never happen”
He says these days you have to plan for it and be prepared. That includes holding periodic meetings with all employees.
You need to be able to care of the employees and the families of those employees, to get the information they’re looking for”
Sandberg says mass shootings can happen anywhere. He says you need a plan in place and that plan should include run, hide or fight.
Officials say always know where the exit doors are and if you can, leave immediately.
If that’s not possible, hide and make sure the shooter can’t see you. If that doesn’t work, you should fight by hitting a shooter as hard as you can.
