A video released by the University of Alberta teaches students and faculty members about what to do in case shots are fired by an assailant again at an Alberta campus. The new safety video was created for post-secondary students with the educational institutions and police on how to react to an active shooter.
The video, entitled ‘Shooter On Campus: Know You Can Survive,’ recommends students to run out of the building, hide, or as a last resort, attack the shooter. The associate vice precedent of risk management at the University of Alberta, Philip Stack, mentioned in a statement that “it is extremely unlikely that any member of our communities will get caught in an active shooter situation.” In addition to that, Stack alleged “but we need to recognize that unthinkable things like this can happen anywhere.” The video is prompted by horrible school shootings in the U.S. and Canada, like the June 2012 triple homicide in HUB Mall at the University of Alberta. At the time, three armoured car security guards were shot in the head, and one more was injured, by their co-worker during a routine circuit replenishing money in city ATMs. The accused, Travis Baumgartner, received a life sentence with no chance of parole for 40 years for the killings.
‘Shooter on Campus’ is a generic video that has different versions for MacEwan, University of Alberta and SAIT. For larger and multi-site campuses, like the U of A, the video will be available online, whereas smaller campuses, such as the University of Lethbridge, will show the video to groups.
