Catholic Charities will host active shooter training — “RUN, HIDE, FIGHT” — from 6 to 8 p.m. on March 7 at the Sallisaw High School gymnasium.
Pam Wemhaner, manager for Catholic Charities Helping Center in Sallisaw, said the event is open to the public and free of charge.
“The target audience is for civilian personnel,” Wemhaner said. “The two-hour presentation is conducted by the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”
Wemhaner said this is the national standard for response to an active threat.
“Participants will learn to run or evacuate if possible, hide or best practices to shelter in place and ultimately to fight if no other options are available,” she said.
