THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Imagine you’re strolling down the congested hallway of a hospital, barely paying any mind to strangers passing by, when shots ring out just feet in front of you.
Do you find the nearest room and take cover? Do you run from the deafening noise, looking for an exit?
A group of 40 people were forced to make that split-second decision Friday morning as part of a training exercise that was staged inside The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood.
Representatives from the Ohio-based ALICE Training Institute promoted a more proactive response in these situations than just hiding and waiting for police to arrive.
People scattered when a blond woman, armed with a gun, emerged from an auditorium Friday recklessly firing off shots in the form of yellow plastic pellets. The screech of an air horn accompanied each of her shots.
Men and women darted out of sight. Some disappeared down adjacent corridors while others ducked into conference rooms where, within seconds, they had the lights turned off and the doors barricaded.

Blonde woman…are you kidding me? At this point in our history, law-abiding citizens should be freely exercising “constitutional carry” in New Jersey, in public, at the workplace, in Church, etc., notwithstanding any objections by the linguini-spined among us. This duck-and-cover, shelter-in-place crap has to end.
lots of people making lots of money from this false paranoia…
