Shootings, killings, kidnappings, hostage situations-mass casualty events have become the norm across the globe. When a mass casualty occurs, shock follows pandemonium. Within an arc of just minutes there is confusion, chaos, terror. And then there are the wounded and the dead. But there is a way to survive these unfathomable tragedies.
