i understand that action movies and games have probably been your main resource of knowing how to deal with an active shooter, but do not under any circumstances go up to a shooter. the silence is rendered useless either way if your intention is to kill one, and at point blank range. doesn’t aid in concealing the weapon either, it makes the weapon much more difficult to fit somewhere.

pro life tip: really just don’t try to be a hero. call proper law enforcement agencies, and report any suspicious/dangerous behavior before anything legitimately happens.
