Active Shooter is all too common a phrase in the news these days. It is sad and terrible that we even have something to describe these horrific acts. The reality is that we live in a world that can, at times, be quite dangerous. The good news is that you do have options. You don't have to be a helpless victim! There are things you can learn to increase your survivability! This book will teach you how you can survive.

Alain's unique methodology of Escape, Deny, and Attack Back is based on the central principle you have to MOVE! Surviving a shooting is not a linear process as others would suggest, and this book will teach you when and how to Escape safely, how to Deny the shooter access to you if you can't escape, and how to successfully work alone, or as a team, to Attack Back and bring the killer down. Hiding and hoping isn't a plan and will likely get you killed. Learn to survive!

This book is designed to save lives!

Advance Praise

“Alain Burrese has written the definitive guide to mass shootings—and how to maximize your chances of surviving one. And the common-sense steps he recommends aren’t just relevant for shootings—they’re well calibrated to help you keep yourself and your family safe generally."

- Barry Eisler

"I have been studying the problem of active killer response for more than two decades. I've read every book available on the subject and have both attended and taught countless classes on the topic. Without question, Alain's book is the absolute best reference for active killer response available on the market today. His advice is both thorough and driven by industry best practices. If you want to learn how to prevail in an active killer attack, you need this book in your library."

- Greg Ellifritz

“Way back in the 1990’s, Alain Burrese established himself as a leading thinker in self-defense circles when he published Hard-Won Wisdom from the School of Hard Knocks. In the intervening years, Alain has continued to learn, grow, research, publish, and teach. I had the privilege to read a draft of his latest book, Survive a Shooting, which you now hold in your hands. Succinct, clear and accurate are just what I expect from Alain. Survive A Shooting offers something else. Instead of jacking up the fear to create a market, Alain took a potentially terrifying subject and created a calming, empowering book. Yes, it’s bad Alain points out. But there are things you can do. You are not helpless. That’s the defining message of this very useful book. I hate touchy feely jargon, but Survive a Shooting is empowering. The kind of book that leaves you a little stronger, a little more ready.”

- Rory Miller

"Survive a Shooting is a must read for anyone that may have to engage an active shooter or mass murderer. Alain did a great job detailing the history of mass shooting situations and what we must be prepared for in the future; as well as what we can do to mitigate this ominous threat."

- Dr. Dale Comstock

"The CIA trains operatives to survive in hostile environments. Survive A Shooting trains people to survive active threats. Putting the knowledge in this book to use could literally save your life."

- Jason Hanson

"No one wants to be a victim, yet learning how to successfully defend against an armed threat can be a significant challenge. Nevertheless, with the right training it's a surmountable one. If I was going to put my life (or a member of my family's) in someone else's hands during an active shooting, I can think of no better person to safeguard it than Alain Burrese. His knowledge, experience, and pragmatic approach create powerful, trustworthy advice that everyone must know."

- Lawrence Kane

"This is a "must have" book on this subject. I have read many books on subjects of self-defense, violence, the psychology of violence ... and despite being pretty well informed, I am amazed by how much more I have learned from this book.

It is great for the complete lay-person, and yet also a great resource for an expert. It is so clear that the author has taken great time and effort to compile the absolutely best info, the latest research ... and put it together in a very easy to read, very useful resource. You can go back to it again and again and easily find the info you are looking for! I will add a photo or two in a day to show what I mean by this.

Another great feature is that the author references other books, of which you will see the best summary ... and you might also choose to read that book later. Even if you do not, you will lack for nothing with this resource in hand. It is the most complete book of it's kind. All I can say is: "Get it!"."

• With over 40 years of military and law enforcement experience I was a bit biased before reading Alain’s book “Survive a Shooting” even after reading numerous glowing reviews.
  Now I find myself reading it for the third time adding more notes in the margins and highlighting key points I had passed over.
  Having been a technical trainer and firearms instructor I can appreciate the amount of time and effort required to research and compile the references used to drive home critical elements. These references provide a roadmap for readers to follow and expand their knowledge base and understanding of current and historical issues.
  One point I especially like is Alanis use of the “Escape-Deny-Attack Back” triangle illustration how to move to respond without having to analyze their way up or down stairs, or a ladder, before reacting to a threat. It’s also a way of giving ‘civilians’ permission to be aggressive and violent in their own defense and should be an addition to any other active threat training in the public or private sector.
  Having been through recent ALERTT and CRASE training as well as a Christian ministries based security training session for church and parochial schools I found that “Survive a Shooting” covered many of the same concerns my training had covered and a lot we had not.
  I firmly believe that this book should be required reading for everyone, at every level, working in our public and private schools, colleges and universities. And perhaps a color print of the cover should be taped to the front door to dissuade a threat in the planning stage.
• Dear Sirs,
  I highly recommend this book.
  The author is a friend of mine who is an attorney, a martial arts instructor, and a graduate of the U.S. Army sniper school. He has made it his mission to spread the knowledge of personal security issues as widely as possible throughout the population. This book is the culmination of years of research and to my knowledge there is no more comprehensive single source on how to prepare and in extremis deal with this terrible possibility.
  This ought to be in the office of the person responsible for school security and the appropriate sections should be assigned reading for all teachers.
  I strongly urge the school to get at least one copy. Better would be to have at least one for staff and one for the school library. This matter is of utmost importance to me, since I have two children in your school. If I can be reassured it will in fact be read and not languish on a bookshelf I will donate one myself.
• This book manages to equip the reader with the food for thought that will allow them to begin to create a plan for safety in the event of being caught in an active shooter situation. With an understanding of the importance of the topic, Alain skipped the nonsense and gets right into the core subject - "what can I do to have the best odds of surviving an active shooter?" Alain is thorough and detailed without making things heady or unreadable. You don't have to be a martial artist to understand the information. Anyone who reads this will walk away with a better understanding, and the sense of calm that can only come when you know what the threat is and have a plan to respond should the need arise.
  
  I cannot recommend this book enough!
