First of all, my gravest condolences to any and all people and families who were affected by the shooting at Virginia Tech on the morning of Monday, April 16. My prayers go out to all of you and those who were killed. However, that's not what this question is about.
After watching a lot of the news coverage focused on the VT shooting, I've heard a few brief interviews with students, some of whom demonstrated great courage in the face of danger - helping others' wounds, holding down the doors to keep the shooter out, etc. There are also students who managed to find a way out of harm's way as soon as possible.
There is no shame in either of these acts; I admire one just as much as I admire the other. However, being a full-time University student myself, this really got me thinking: What would I do in that kind of situation?
Of course, there's no substitute for real life, but in any case, what do you think you would have done if you were placed in a situation like that?
