This video starts off showing what appears to be an average day at the office moments later are everything changes.

Unfortunately.

You need to be prepared for the worst.

It becomes a video -- a simulated active shooter situation.

-- nearly six minute video was produced by this city of Houston with 200000.

Dollars in federal grant money.

Fight if you can get out -- out otherwise find a place to hide and as a last resort fight.
