After a shooting at Hanes Mall in Winston-Salem, some community members are on alert. A self-defense expert explains what to do if you ever find yourself in an active shooter situation. Run, hide or fight. Self-defense expert and head instructor at Armored Self Defense in Winston-Salem, Travis Cook, said those are your three options if you find yourself in an active shooter situation. If you run, Cook said it's best to stay low to the ground and run in a zig-zag and, not in a straight line. "The first option is always to run, so if you can assess where the gunshot is coming from, you obviously go the opposite direction, so it's not something that you want to go towards or film," Cook said. If you can't run, Cook said to hide. He said don't be paranoid but be aware of where you are. https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/local/run-hide-fight-self-defense-expert-active-shooter/83-edfa9d46-c9eb-4a88-8b58-a9c86c1bac5b SUBSCRIBE | https://bit.ly/2vsX74I Follow us: Facebook | https://bit.ly/3326pAY Twitter | https://bit.ly/2vIPZkT Instagram | https://bit.ly/39Ghs5a Download the WFMY News 2 app: ►Text the word APP to 336-379-5775 ►For iPhone | https://apple.co/3aaH6iM ►For Android | https://bit.ly/3aea9Sv
