Recent events around the nation have raised the public’s awareness of active shooter situations, and the unfortunate reality that similar events can occur anywhere and at any time.

To keep the Fullerton College community informed about what to do in the event that a similar situation occurs on our campus, the North Orange County Community College District is offering the Active Shooter Response Training video to all students, faculty and staff.

“Shots Fired on Campus” is an informative and eye-opening video about how to respond in an active shooter situation. To view the Shots Fired on Campus videos you must have a FC Student/Faculty login Name and Password.

Please view the Shots Fired on Campus Student Guide while watching the video.
