I can only speak for the training conducted by my PD, but our active shooter training mandates that there is no waiting even if you are the only officer on scene. Our protocol comes from new techniques that come from some of the mass school shootings we've seen in the recent past. I know of very few PD’s that don't train the same way. That is not to say that there aren't some stuck in the old ways of doing things. There is a much higher chance of an officer being injured now under the active shooter response, but that is part of the job.

Same training that I’ve received, Animal. As for going to the sound of the shots, the old saying is, ‘you don’t have to like it, you’ve just got to do it.’ I hope I never experience an active shooter situation, but if I do I hope that I exhibit the skill and bravery that this officer did.
