The police department offers three options to choose from in an active shooter situation— run, hide or confront as detailed above. The recommendations follow those of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The NYPD says that it’s important to have a planned escape route before attempting to get out and that confronting the attacker should be the last resort.

More resources including an online course are available on the DHS website.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
