‘Charge the shooter, kids,’ take two:

‘Take the shooter out.’ Okay. How?

Key phrase — “if there is no other option”. They’re not telling people to bum rush an active shooter first. They’re saying that if there is truly nothing else you can do, then confront that person directly and incapacitate them.

I’ve seen similar statements in damn near every university law enforcement guide for how to handle shooters. The first steps are always to run, or hide or play dead or otherwise make yourself scarce and let law enforcement do their jobs. If you’re totally without any other choice, then you confront the shooter.
