What to do when you fear a mass shooter, according to security experts:
The sound of motorcycles backfiring may not have prompted hundreds of people to flee Times Square two weeks ago, but after a pair of mass shootings a few days earlier, the nation was on edge.
"People are scared but also people just don't seem confident that the government is doing enough to protect them," Cohen said. Even though the stampede in Times Square resulted in several minor injuries after the motorcycles backfired, officials said that the public reacted"correctly" to a perceived threat.
Waters was referring to the government-backed motto that urges people to"run, hide, fight" when facing an active-shooter event. He likened these mental run-throughs to all of the time that police officers spend practicing at shooting ranges or running through drills. In situations like the one in Times Square, Cohen agreed with Waters that if people are running, you too should run, but keep your own situation in mind."If there's a large crowd running in a certain direction, if you can't keep up with that crowd you want to get out of the way of the crowd," he said.
